Russia’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Andrei Kelin, said Moscow supports Iran in its war with the United States and the Israeli occupation, stressing that Russia “is not neutral.”

Kelin criticized what he described as the “Western narrative,” blaming Tehran for the escalation, arguing that it ignores the fact that the United States and Israeli Occupation initiated the attacks.

He called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to diplomacy to resolve the crisis through negotiations.
