No one has yet seen evidence of Iran developing nuclear weapons, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday, Sputnik International reports.
The minister called the US-Israeli aggression against Iran a war and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, adding that he does not expect any sanctions against the US and Israel for the attack on Iran.
“We still do not see evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, which was the main, if not the only justification for the war. There are confirmations from the IAEA, as well as from American professional intelligence officers. Evidence that Iran has not produced or attempted to produce nuclear weapons,” Lavrov told reporters after talks with Second Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Brunei Darusalam Erywan Yusof.
There is no clarity about what exactly the US is pursuing in Iran, the minister added.
The war unleashed against Iran may stimulate movement in favor of the creation of nuclear weapons not only by Tehran, but also by its neighbors, Lavrov said.
On Saturday, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran retaliated with strikes against Israeli territory, as well as against US military bases across the Middle East.
