Russia has called for restraint and dialogue following comments from United States President Donald Trump, who warned of a possible new strike on Iran if it continues to advance its nuclear and missile programs. Trump, speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggested that Iran may be rebuilding its weapons capabilities at undisclosed locations after United States strikes in June.

The Kremlin emphasized the need to avoid steps that could escalate tensions in the region and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining close ties with Tehran. Moscow's appeal comes amid heightened scrutiny of Iran's relationship with Russia, especially after both countries signed a strategic partnership treaty earlier this year.

Western nations have accused Iran of supplying missiles and drones for Russian operations in Ukraine, claims that Iran denies. The situation remains tense as international actors urge caution and dialogue to prevent further conflict.
