Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for restraint as Israel weighs its response to Iran’s unprecedented weekend drone and missile attack.

Putin made the remarks in a phone call with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Tuesday. The leaders discussed what the Kremlin called “retaliatory measures taken by Iran” after an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on April 1.

Putin urged all sides to refrain from action that would trigger a new confrontation that would have catastrophic consequences for the Middle East, the Kremlin said.

Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel late on Saturday in response to the Israeli strike in Damascus, which killed seven officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including two generals.

Putin probably prefers that Iran send their forces to Ukraine to assist Russia in "de-Nazifying" Ukraine.

1. My bad. Russian Unification, not de-Nazification.

De-Nazification is so 2022.

3. But I'm sure Putin also appreciates what Iran is doing

He gets to look like the peace broker and we’re supposed to forget that he has warrants out for his arrest for crimes against humanity.

7. There's only one reason for that! The drones they lobbed at Israel and would continue to use in a larger scale

Conflict are drones Russia can buy to lob at Ukraine.
