Russia has issued a stern warning to Israel, advising against any potential attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, labeling such an action as catastrophic.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov emphasized that even contemplating an attack on Iran's nuclear infrastructure would be a grave violation of nuclear security norms, reports TASS

“We have repeatedly warned and continue to caution [Israel] against even hypothetically considering the possibility of striking [Iran’s] nuclear facilities.

This would be a disastrous move and a complete rejection of established nuclear security principles,” Ryabkov stated.

The warning follows an incident on October 1, when Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a significant missile assault on Israel in response to the deaths of key leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IRGC. Tehran claimed that 90% of the missiles hit their targets, while Israel reported that most of the 180 missiles fired were intercepted.

Israel’s Chief of the General Staff vowed to respond with a surprise attack on Iran at an opportune time. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov further cautioned that targeting Tehran’s peaceful nuclear facilities in retaliation for Iranian missile attacks on Israel would be a highly provocative move.
