On 13 June 2025, Israel carried out unexpected air attacks targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, key scientific personnel, and high-ranking military officials. These strikes occurred amid ongoing tensions and prompted Russia and Namibia to condemn the attacks for breaching international legal norms, while urging all parties to seek a diplomatic resolution.
Russia condemned the Israeli strikes on Iran as unlawful and unjustified, expressed willingness to facilitate dialogue concerning the conflict involving Iran’s nuclear program, and is awaiting a comprehensive IAEA report assessing the damage to Iran’s nuclear sites. Sergei Ryabkov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister, cautioned that the U.S. directly providing military support to Israel might severely disrupt stability in the Middle East and called for careful consideration before pursuing such actions.
The escalating conflict risks regional and global instability, leading Namibia and Russia to urge diplomatic solutions and diplomacy as the only sustainable path forward.
