Russia has stressed that the ceasefire announced by the United States and Iran in the Middle East should also be implemented in Lebanon, after Israel announced it would continue its attacks against Tehran-backed Hezbollah.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov welcomed the ceasefire during a phone call with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi. According to
"Moscow firmly believes that these agreements have a regional dimension and, in particular, apply to Lebanon ," a Russian Foreign Ministry statement said.
Kremlin spokeswoman Maria Zakharova strongly condemned the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, warning that such aggressive actions threaten to disrupt the new negotiation process.
Moscow's reaction comes at a time of heightened tension, as a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran is being tested over disagreements over whether it includes the Lebanese front. Iran and Pakistan claim the ceasefire applies everywhere, including Lebanon, while Israel and the United States insist it does not cover Israeli operations against Hezbollah.
Russia, as a traditional ally of Iran and influential in the region, is positioning itself as a supporter of a comprehensive solution to stop violence throughout the Middle East, warning that continued attacks in Lebanon could sabotage new peace efforts.
