Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the countries waging war against Iran have realized the massive scale of their miscalculation, while offering Moscow's services to mediate the conflict.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov defended Iran's retaliatory military strikes as legitimate self-defense and mocked the US-Israeli coalition's expectations of a swift victory, while offering Moscow's services as a mediator.
