Russia has issued a strong warning ahead of high-stakes U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad, urging all sides to act responsibly and avoid actions that could derail negotiations. Moscow described the talks as a crucial opportunity to resolve the Gulf crisis, while directly blaming the United States and Israel for triggering the conflict. The Russian Foreign Ministry highlighted ongoing instability, including losses across the Arabian Peninsula and continued Israel-Lebanon hostilities. It also called for an immediate halt to airstrikes on Lebanon. As global pressure builds, Russia’s intervention underscores rising international concern and the urgent need to prevent further escalation in the Middle East.
