Russia openly supported Iran in its war with Israel - Kremlin on Israel-Iran ceasefire

According to the report, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday denied claims that Russia has failed to give meaningful support to Iran in its war with Israel, and charged that such statements are aimed at straining Russian-Iranian relations.“There are many now who want to add fuel to the fire, to spoil the partnership between Moscow and Tehran,” Peskov told reporters.“Russia has supported Iran with the clear position it has taken. And, of course, we intend to further develop our relations with Iran,” he said. According to Associated Press, at the same briefing, Peskov was asked about media coverage drawing parallels between Moscow’s muted response to the recent strikes on Iran and its failure last December to stop the fall from power of its Syrian ally, former President Bashar al-Assad.

The report said that Peskov responded by saying such “discussions” were “inevitable,” but did not comment further. As leaders of NATO countries gathered in the Hague on Tuesday for what could be a historic summit, Peskov also slammed the alliance as “moving along the path of rabid militarization.”Peskov’s remarks referenced U.S. President Donald Trump’s demands that NATO members hike their defence spending to 5% of GDP, something several countries have already signed up to."Since they need to push through the decision on 5%, they need to portray a monster from hell. From the perspective of these NATO officials, our country naturally fits the role of the monster best," Peskov added.
