After Iran launched a major missile attack on Israel on Tuesday, Russia declared that the US strategy in the Middle East was a “complete failure”. The foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova wrote on Telegram, calling the Biden administration’s performance in the Middle East a “complete failure.”
A violent drama that is just becoming more intense. The White House’s incoherent remarks reveal its total incapacity to handle emergencies.” Following the Israeli military’s alleged “ground raids” against Hizbollah in the region on Tuesday, Russia called on Israel to “immediately” remove its troops from southern Lebanon.
Following a week of heavy airstrikes on Lebanon that claimed hundreds of lives and killed Hizbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, Israel declared the assault—military actions that the Kremlin officially denounced.
“Russia strongly condemns the attack on Lebanon and calls on the Israeli authorities to immediately cease hostilities, withdraw their troops from Lebanese territory and engage in a real search for peaceful ways to resolve the Middle East conflict,” the Russian foreign ministry stated in a statement. We express our solidarity with the leadership and people of friendly Lebanon, which has been subjected to armed aggression,” it continued.
