“The world is growing tired of the endless threats against Iran,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
“This fatigue is accompanied by a lack of understanding of why this issue, although it has already found a diplomatic solution that has been legally formalized, is constantly seen as a pretext for potential aggression.”
The Russian official was referring to threats by US President Donald Trump to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities if no deal is reached.
Iran and the United States are set to hold indirect talks in Oman on April 12.
Zakharova said bombing Iran would not lead to peace and expressed hope that the upcoming talks help avert a crisis.
“There is also a growing understanding that bombing will not pave the way to peace. There is a demand for effective negotiating solutions that would allow the situation to move away from the dangerous line.”
Zakharova also criticized the Western approach to Iran’s nuclear energy program, questioning whether they genuinely seek a resolution to the long-standing dispute.
“In general, the way our Western colleagues have behaved so far makes it doubtful that they have a genuine desire to resolve the tangle of these issues.”
“We hope that a reasonable approach will prevail and that they will be able to switch to a constructive, thoughtful conversation about possible parameters for negotiating solutions that would avoid a crisis.”
The Russian official said Tehran cannot be held responsible for the consequences of “illegal actions by those who, through their shortsightedness and erroneous forecasting, undermined agreements.”
