Russia says Israel's attack on Iran was unprovoked and illegal MOSCOW - The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday that Israeli strikes on Iran and its nuclear facilities were unprovoked and in breach of the United Nations charter.

A majority of Israelis support their country's airstrikes against Iran, although the vote is split equally between those who think the strikes should persist, those who don't and those undecided, reported Bloomberg citing an opinion poll conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that if the Israeli strikes on Iran stop, then “our responses will also stop.”

Aerial attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight into Monday, marking a fourth day of strikes following Israel's Friday attack. That surprise strike hit the heart of Iran's nuclear program, killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.

Israel's attack on Iran raises questions like whether the US will get involved, how Iran will respond, and if a wider conflict may be triggered.

Interviews with half a dozen senior Iranian officials show that they were not expecting Israel to strike before another round of talks.
