MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Tuesday, Iran fired several hundred ballistic missiles at Israel in response to the assassinations of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and senior IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan. Tehran noted that it does not seek war with Israel, but will deal with any threat decisively.
Russia calls on the parties to the Middle East conflict to immediately stop hostilities, Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov said on Wednesday.

"Our call is very simple: it is high time to immediately stop military actions. Of course, [it is time to] stop violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of neighboring countries and engage in a real search for a political, diplomatic way out of this extremely dangerous situation," Viktorov told the Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

Washington's real actions in the Middle East do not reflect its desire for peace and stability in the region, the diplomat added, calling US statements on the matter vague and incomprehensible.
