Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed alarm about statements by Israel Defense Forces Chief of the General Staff Eyal Zamir who said the operation against Iran is not over yet.
"It seems to me that everybody has an interest the situation taking an off-ramp to a political path. That's what was stated by [US President [Donald] Trump, who wants, as he says, to play a mediating role between Israel and Iran. Iran said that if Israel does not restart hostilities, then Iran will adhere to the ceasefire" he said at a news conference following talks with Laos Foreign Minister Thongsavanh Phomvihane.
"Unfortunately, Israel's chief of general staff said that for now the ceasefire is in effect, but this is primarily because it is necessary to complete what has been started against Hamas before definitely returning to continuing the operation against Iran. This is alarming and goes against the statements of virtually all other participants involved in this situation, including, as I said, Donald Trump's statements," Lavrov went on to say.
