Russia has officially made its statement!
The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the US-Israeli air strikes on Iran, condemning it as "a premeditated armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state," demanding that "immediate return to political and diplomatic means to resolve the current situation," and stating that "it is willing to actively promote a peaceful solution."
This statement from Russia is more at the moral level. Currently, Russia is deeply involved in the war in Ukraine, with limited military resources and unable to open a second front in the Middle East. Despite the 20-year strategic partnership agreement signed between Russia and Iran in January this year, Russia could only stand by when Iran was attacked.
In fact, Russia's awkward situation - wanting to maintain its last ally and strategic foothold in the Middle East, but lacking the actual capacity for intervention, making it difficult to change Iran's passive situation. The wording behind Russia's statement reflects an unavoidable reality: before the situation in Ukraine is resolved, Russia can only watch helplessly as changes unfold in the Middle East.
