Eastern rivalries: new countries are involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran

At the same time, prolonging the fighting increases Tehran's chances, experts say.

The day before, the Russian Embassy in Tehran announced the successful evacuation from Iran of the majority of Russians who decided to leave the country. It was clarified that at the time of the escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict, there were more than 2 thousand Russians in Iran, including permanent residents and those on a working trip to the republic.

Later, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that Russia would support its citizens who want to return from Israel amid the escalation in the Middle East. At the same time, he stressed that the return of citizens who lived in another country would not affect Russian society in any way.
