STORYLINE:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that a "worst case scenario" was avoided, referring to Israel’s attack on Iran at a news briefing on Monday after he met his Kuwaiti counterpart Abdullah Ali al-Yahya in Moscow.
"At this stage, the worst case scenario has been avoided, is managed to be avoided at least, because its possibility still remains. Here, as well as in the situation with Ukraine, there are someone who want to heat the flame up to the extent when the United States first of all get involved," Lavrov said.
Abdullah Ali al-Yahya, the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister, highlighted the need of moving forward "with the recognition of the Palestinian state while also accepting the two-state solution."
"This should be preceded by the immediate ceasefire and an urge to international organisation to enter Palestine’s territories as soon as possible," he added.
Israel delivered its long-expected response to Iranian missile attacks early Saturday by carrying out a series of airstrikes against the Islamic Republic.
Israel struck multiple sites in different parts of Iran.
Explosions were heard in the capital, Tehran, which sits deep inside the country.
The Israeli military said its "precise and targeted strikes" hit missile air defense systems and "aerial capabilities" as well as missile manufacturing facilities used to produce weapons that have been used against Israel. Iran insisted the strikes caused only "limited damage."
