According to sources, Russia has drafted a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East amid the escalation of the situation in the region. The document condemns attacks on civilians and calls on all parties to the conflict to return to negotiations.
The document states: "The Security Council calls on all parties to immediately cease military operations and avoid further escalation of the situation in the Middle East and other regions; firmly condemns all attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure and calls for their protection, while emphasizing the obligations that all parties must bear under international law, including international humanitarian law."
The document also emphasizes "the importance of ensuring the security of all countries inside and outside the Middle East."
In addition, the draft "urges all relevant parties to return to negotiations without delay and to make full use of political and diplomatic means."
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a series of strikes against targets inside Iran, including an attack on Tehran, which reportedly caused damage and civilian deaths. The attack resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran declared a 40-day mourning period nationwide. Iran then carried out retaliatory missile strikes on Israeli territory and U.S. military targets in the Middle East.
The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks by the United States and Israel, and called for an immediate de-escalation of the situation and the cessation of military operations.
