Russia is extremely concerned about the next dangerous escalation in the Middle East.

"We are extremely concerned about the next dangerous escalation in the region. "We have repeatedly warned that failure to resolve the crisis caused by irresponsible provocative actions in the Middle East, primarily in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, will lead to an increase in tension," the statement said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Iran's attack on Israel was carried out within the framework of the right of self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter.
