West Jerusalem has carried out \u201ca very dangerous provocation,\u201d Dmitry Polyansky has told RT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Framing Israel\u2019s attack on Iran as self-defense is a form of \u201cperverted logic,\u201d<\/em> Russia\u2019s deputy envoy to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, has told RT, accusing West Jerusalem of flagrantly breaching the global body\u2019s charter.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Israel struck Iranian uranium enrichment sites, while also killing several senior military commanders and scientists in targeted assassination operations, describing its acts as preemptive steps aimed at stopping Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. Iran, which denies pursuing a military nuclear program, responded by launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, including in the country\u2019s largest city, Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

In his interview on Saturday, Polyansky accused Western politicians claiming that Israel\u2019s attack on Iran was \u201cself-defense\u201d<\/em> of having \u201cvery perverted logic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, every country has the right to defend itself. But in this case, Israel launched an aggression \u2013 an attack against Iran \u2013 totally violating and breaching the UN Charter and international law\u2026 I cannot imagine how it can be framed as legitimate self-defense,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

The authorities in Moscow \u201ctotally support the Iranian position\u2026 that this is absolutely inadmissible and that nobody should be permitted to act as Israel does,\u201d<\/em> the diplomat stressed.<\/p>\n

The attack on Iran is \u201ca very dangerous provocation against international law, against everything that really keeps our world together, and it can trigger very-very serious consequences regionally and internationally,\u201d<\/em> he warned.<\/p>\n

According to Polyansky, the goal of the Israeli strike was to \u201cundermine\u201d<\/em> the US-Iran nuclear talks, the next round of which is scheduled to take place on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Friday that diplomacy was made \u201cmeaningless\u201d<\/em> by the Israeli attack on Iran, which he claimed was \u201callowed\u201d<\/em> by Washington. However, in a later comment Baghaei clarified that Tehran had not yet made a decision to call off Sunday\u2019s meeting in Oman.<\/p>\n

Moscow wants the talks between the US and Iran to continue, Polyansky said. When it comes to resolving \u201cthe controversy around the Iranian nuclear program… we, of course, favor the way of diplomacy and restraint,\u201d<\/em> he stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
