# Russia says it “condemns” and “regrets” US strikes on Iran over the weekend, as Russian President Vladimir Putin was set to meet Iranian Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi in Moscow. Meanwhile, Israel is carrying out unprecedented strikes on Iran’s capital targeting what it calls “agencies of government repression”. The EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas also warned it would be “extremely dangerous” should Iran shut down the crucial Strait of Hormuz trading route over US strikes on its nuclear sites. Around 20-percent of the world’s oil passes through this waterway.
