Kremlin Condemns US-Israeli 'Murder' of Iran's Leaders After ...
The Kremlin condemned attacks on Iran's leadership as unacceptable murder without directly blaming Israel, while Tehran vowed retaliation after the killing of security chief Ali Larijani.
- On Wednesday, the Kremlin issued a formal condemnation after an Israeli airstrike killed Ali Larijani, with Dmitry Peskov saying 'We firmly condemn actions aimed at harming the health and, even more, the killing of the leadership of sovereign and independent Iran'.
- Russia–Iran ties include Larijani's January meeting with Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin and the 2025 strategic partnership to counter shared threats.
- Reports indicate multiple sources say Russia provided Iran with drone intelligence and advice, but the Kremlin denied this while White House officials said last week Moscow assured no targeting aid was given.
- Tehran's vow of retaliation means heightened risks of further strikes as authorities in Tehran respond to Larijani's killing, while Russia calls U.S.-Israeli strikes an 'unprovoked act of armed aggression'.
- Meanwhile, the Kremlin press shows Peskov did not name Larijani or directly blame Israel for his killing, according to briefing records.
