Russia Responds to Trump’s Iran Ceasefire: ‘Crushing Defeat’

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said the U.S.-Israeli ceasefire with Iran was a “crushing defeat” for a “one-track, aggressive, unprovoked attack”.

According to Al Jazeera, spokesperson Maria Zakharova told Sputnik Radio that Moscow, since the start of the conflict, had been calling “to immediately stop this aggression” and that there was “no military solution”.

“All the statements that were made about … being more aggressive, being more offensive, writing more on social media and ‘victory’ — it’s just around the corner. Once again, this position has suffered a crushing defeat. So has the approach of such a one-track, aggressive, unprovoked attack,” she said, according to Turkey’s state-run international news agency AA.
