MOSCOW: Russia said on Wednesday its embassy in Tehran had reopened to the public, noting that the security situation in Iran has stabilised after the two-week conflict with Israel.

The mission had stopped providing consular services on June 15 after Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign hitting Iran’s nuclear facilities and military infrastructure, as well as residential areas.

The attacks killed more than 1,000 people, including senior military commanders and nuclear scientists.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a regular briefing that there was “some stabilisation” of the situation, adding that “the consular service of the Russian embassy in Tehran is already operating as usual”.

However, she has also urged Russians to exercise caution and remain vigilant while visiting the country.

Moscow provides crucial backing for Tehran but did not swing forcefully behind its partner even after the United States joined Israel’s bombing campaign.
