The Kremlin called on all countries in the Middle East to exercise restraint and prevent the region from slipping into chaos. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia "has not received any requests to mediate between Israel and Iran," but he described the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus as "a violation of all principles of international law." Iran vowed to retaliate for the airstrike that targeted its embassy compound in Damascus on April 1, which resulted in the death of a senior Iranian commander and six other senior Iranian officers, leading to heightened tensions in a region already afflicted by the war in Gaza.
