Previously, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov He stated that Russia is relying on IAEA assessments, which sees no signs that Iran is trying to transfer its peaceful nuclear development program to a military channel, but an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would be a serious provocation.
On October 1, Iran subjected Israel to a massive rocket launch for the second time in history, calling it an act of self-defense. The Israeli military says about 180 ballistic missiles were fired, most of which were intercepted. The bombing, according to Israeli authorities, did not cause any casualties among the country’s citizens. Several media outlets reported the death of one person, presumably a Palestinian from the Gaza Strip in the West Bank.
The Iranians claim the missiles hit Israeli military targets; the Israelis consider the damage to be “minimal.” They promise to fight back and that the United States will come to the aid of its main Middle Eastern ally.
