Russia urges restraint as Trump warns Iran of possible strike
  • Flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested on Monday ⁠that Tehran may be ‌working to ‍restore ‍its weapons programs

MOSCOW: The Kremlin on Tuesday said it was ​necessary to develop a dialogue with Iran and urged all parties to refrain from escalation after ‌US President ‌Donald Trump ‌said ⁠Washington ​would ‌support another massive strike on Iran.

Flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested on Monday ⁠that Tehran may be ‌working to ‍restore ‍its weapons programs after ‍a US strike in June. Iran denies it has a nuclear ​weapons program.

Moscow has cultivated closer ties ⁠with Tehran since the start of its war in Ukraine, and this year signed a strategic partnership treaty with the Islamic Republic.
