"In this case, there was no request from the Iranian side."", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a press conference, when asked whether Russia plans to offer Iran assistance, such as supplying weapons.

Russia has called the attacks on Iran an "act of armed aggression" and an attempt to "overthrow the legitimate government in Iran," according to a Foreign Ministry statement on Thursday.

"At the same time, it is clear that the only way to prevent the region from sinking further into destabilization is to end the American and Israeli aggression, which has caused a chain reaction of suffering for the Arabs," she added.
