Zakharova: Russia Calls for Diplomacy as Middle East Tensions Mount
Russia regrets to note that tensions in the Persian Gulf are escalating as the opposing sides continue to exchange strikes, causing extensive damage to civilian infrastructure in Iran and the Arab states, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
The risk of disruption to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea has increased, Zakharova pointed out.
She said that the situation hampers regional mediation efforts to restore the negotiation process based on the Islamabad Memorandum signed by the US and Iran on June 17.
“Russia urges all parties to the conflict to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could further escalate the conflict and further deteriorate the military-political situation in the Middle East,” Zakharova stressed.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman warned that a negative development in the situation “would have critical consequences for international energy and food security.”
“Russia is ready to contribute to resolving existing disagreements in this strategically important region of the world through political and diplomatic means, taking into account the interests of all regional states,” Zakharova emphasized.
