Commenting on the events in the Middle East, Peskov stated that “worse things have happened in human history.” At the same time, he claimed that “we have all lost what is called international law.”

“It is practically no more. De jure it exists, but de facto it is no more,” he said.

“And what law has come to replace international law — hardly anyone can formulate right now.”

He added that Russia now “needs to focus on its interests and on its potential” and build it up where it is lacking.

On March 7, the Russian ambassador to UK, Andrey Kelin, stated that Russia supports Iran in the war with the U.S.; Russia is not a neutral party and provides support to Iran. Peskov earlier claimed that Iran did not ask Russia for any help in addition to the “political support provided by Moscow.”

The Washington Post wrote that Russia provided Iran with intelligence on the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth stated that he is not worried by the fact that Iran might receive information from Russia for strikes on American military positions.
