But, not, it would seem, irony:
Following the (pardon me, unforgivably stupid) US strikes on three Iranian sites (Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo) last night:
a statement from Russia’s foreign ministry said: “The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks, whatever the arguments it may be presented with, flagrantly violates international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the resolutions of the UN security council.”
“We call for an end to aggression and for increased efforts to create conditions for returning the situation to a political and diplomatic track.”
Anyone forgotten Ukraine?
(Well, at least the US didn’t use “tactical” nuclear weapons in the strikes, as had been trailed in earlier news. That is some small mercy.)
