Foreign media: Russia urges all parties to exercise restraint as the US is strengthening military deployments near Iran. The US has sent warships to the Middle East and is also negotiating with Iran on limiting its nuclear program.

Russia has a strategic partnership with Iran, but it does not include a mutual defense clause. This week, the Russian Navy and the Iranian Navy conducted joint exercises in the Gulf of Oman.

The Kremlin spokesperson said that the current tension in the region has escalated to an unprecedented level, and Russia calls on Iran and regional parties to resolve issues through political and diplomatic means to avoid military conflict.
