Israel-US strikes on Iran could cause environmental disaster in West Asia: Moscow

MOSCOW: (Mar 19) Continued Israeli-American strikes on the industrial facilities in Iran could cause an environmental disaster and must be stopped, Moscow on Wednesday told the Israeli Ambassador here.

“On March 18, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Georgy Borisenko received Israeli Ambassador to Moscow Oded Yosef. The conversation focused on the ongoing tense military and political situation in the Middle East,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said on its webportal.

It said that the Israeli-American coalition's strikes on industrial facilities in Iran could cause a “man-made environmental disaster and therefore must be stopped”.
