Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned that new strikes on Iran will have "adverse" consequences for the entire international community, TASS reports.

“The consequences would be adverse,” he stressed, answering a question on this matter in an interview with Al-Arabiya television. "Strikes on Iran have already occurred in the past, targeting the nuclear facilities supervised by the IAEA."

Lavrov noted that the strikes on Iran by the US and Israel in June 2025 not only undermined the authority of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), but also carried a "real risks of a nuclear incident.”

"The situation is more or less stable right now, judging from the data of our Iranian colleagues," he added. " However, the strikes on nuclear facilities forced the Iranians to think about the physical protection of nuclear materials, which, I repeat, are under the IAEA’s control and cannot be “touched.”’

According to the Russian foreign minister, with such actions, the US and Israel have not only created physical risks, but also undermined "the authority of the IAEA and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons," which, according to repeated statements by Tehran, "is mandatory for Iran."

Also, Lavrov noted that after the signing of the JCPOA, the IAEA's control over Iran's activities was "unprecedented," but Tehran "was never found violating the Non-Proliferation Treaty or its agreement on guarantees with the IAEA."

"All risks and political tensions emerged after the United States withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, three years into its term," the Russian foreign minister added.
