Russia on Wednesday urged “restraint” in the Iran war after Washington and Tehran traded new strikes in the worst escalation since their April 8 ceasefire.

“We are extremely concerned about the new round of US-Iranian armed confrontation, which began with the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. We call on both sides to exercise restraint and to immediately cease military attacks,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters.
