The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed outrage over the death of Ayatollah Khamenei

The news of the death of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other Iranian leaders as a result of strikes by the United States and Israel causes outrage and deep regret in Moscow. This was announced on March 1 by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"The news of the death of the Supreme leader and spiritual leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a number of his family members and Iranian high-ranking officials as a result of missile and bombing attacks by the United States and Israel has been met in Moscow with indignation and deep regret. The Russian Federation strongly and consistently condemns the practice of political assassinations and "hunting" of leaders of sovereign states," the ministry said in a statement on its website.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the military operation of the United States and Israel contradicts international law and the principle of relations between the countries. The diplomats also pointed out that blocking the Strait of Hormuz could unbalance the global oil and gas market.

Moscow calls on the countries to immediately end the conflict and find a diplomatic solution that takes into account the interests of all the countries of the Persian Gulf.
