Russian President Vladimir Putin has met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, calling the strikes on Iran"unprovoked aggression," the Kremlin press service said.
Putin condemned the strikes on Iran, calling them"unprovoked" aggression."There is no justification or justification for unprovoked absolute aggression against Iran," the Russian president said during a meeting in the Kremlin.
Putin also noted that Moscow and Tehran have long-standing, good, trusting relations and that Russia is trying to"help the Iranian people."
For his part, Aragchi said that the aggressive actions of Israel and the United States against Iran are"completely illegal and violate international rules and international norms."
"We are now defending our sovereignty and our country, and our defense is legitimate," the minister said.
The Iranian foreign minister arrived in Moscow a day after the US strike on Iran's underground nuclear facilities.
Also on Monday, June 23, Israel and Iran continue to strike each other on Monday.
Iranian officials said the Israeli strikes targeted the underground uranium enrichment plant at Fordow, which was also hit by the US on Sunday, while the Israeli military later issued a statement saying Israel had struck roads leading to the plant.
Israel also struck missile launchers in the Kermanshah area. In Tehran, the strike destroyed the gates of Evin Prison, which houses political prisoners. In the Iranian capital, strikes also targeted the Revolutionary Guards' security service and the Basij branch of the Revolutionary Guards, which is used to suppress protesters, as well as energy infrastructure, causing a power outage in parts of Tehran for several hours, Israeli and Iranian media reported.
