“Russia considers the strikes carried out by the US on Iranian territory as a violation of the memorandum concluded between Washington and Tehran.”
“Elchi” reports that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this to journalists.
He noted that the US strikes are causing the destruction of civilian infrastructure both in the Islamic Republic and in other Persian Gulf countries.
“We view the US attacks on Iran as a violation of the memorandum. … Most importantly, this does not lead to an agreement; on the contrary, it closes the door opened by the aforementioned memorandum,” Lavrov said.
It should be recalled that on the night of June 18, the US and Iran signed a memorandum aimed at ending the conflict that began between the two countries on February 28. However, the US side resumed attacks in early July. As US President Donald Trump noted, Washington intends to completely eliminate Iran’s military capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz area to deprive Tehran of control over the strait.
