MOSCOW, JUNE 13 (AFP/APP): The Kremlin on Friday condemned and expressed concern over the “sharp escalation” between Israel and Iran, Russian state media reported, as its embassies urged Russians to stay away.
“Russia is concerned and condemns the sharp escalation of tensions,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state news agencies.
The Russian embassy in Tel Aviv pressed Russians in Israel to leave the country if they could and said it “strongly recommends” against travelling there until the “situation normalises.”
Moscow’s mission in Tehran issued a similar warning, saying it was recommending citizens to “refrain from visiting Iran”, to avoid going near military facilities, and not to take photos or videos anywhere in the country.
