Moscow: Russia strongly condemns the U.S. strikes on Syria and Iraq and is seeking an immediate review of the emerging situation through the United Nations (UN) Security Council, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Saturday.
“American airstrikes involving strategic bombers across Iraq and Syria, … once again demonstrated to the world the aggressive nature of U.S. policy in the Middle East and Washington’s complete disregard for international law,” Zakharova said on Telegram. The spokesperson said the United States is purposefully trying to plunge the largest countries in the region into conflict by conducting the strikes.
“Recent events confirm that the United States is not and has never been looking for solutions to problems in the region,” she added.
The United States on Friday carried out strikes on Iran-linked militia targets in Syria and Iraq in retaliation for a deadly attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan.
