The Kremlin has strongly condemned the recent U.S.–Israeli strikes against Iran, calling them “armed aggression,” but also clarified that Iran has not asked Russia for any assistance, military or otherwise. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia has not received any requests for help from Iran.
According to Middle East Monitor, when asked directly if Russia planned to provide Iran with support, such as arms supplies, Peskov was clear, saying, “In this case, there were no appeals from the Iranian side.”
