MOSCOW, March 25. /TASS/. Strikes on Iran’s essential infrastructure aimed at exerting military pressure on the country are unacceptable, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu said.

He added that "the only responsible way forward is de-escalation and the pursuit of a long-term peaceful solution at the negotiating table." "We call on the parties to return to a diplomatic settlement without delay," the Russian Security Council secretary stressed.
