The Israeli and US strikes against Tehran are illegitimate and violate international law, according to the Russian president

Israeli and US hostilities against Iran are groundless and unjustifiable, Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in an expression of support.

Araghchi, who landed in Moscow on Monday, said earlier that the visit was needed for "closer, more precise, and more serious consultations" with Russia in the wake of the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities this past weekend.

During the meeting at the Kremlin, Putin described the attacks on Iran as "an unprovoked aggression," for which "there can be no justification."

The actions of Israel and the US are "illegitimate" and violate international norms, he added.

The Russian leader noted that he was glad to see Araghchi in Moscow, saying that his visit would allow Russia and Iran "to discuss these pressing issues and jointly think about a way out of the current situation."
