MOSCOW (Reuters) -The Kremlin said on Wednesday that it thought it was too early for anyone to have a realistic picture of damage inflicted on Iran's nuclear facilities by U.S. airstrikes.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was responding to a question about damage assessments offered by President Donald Trump who has suggested that the U.S. attack obliterated Tehran's nuclear programme.
Peskov said that Moscow viewed the attacks on Iran as unprovoked and the situation as concerning.
Russia had indications that Washington and Tehran had open communications channels though, he said, and Moscow was closely monitoring developments and still talking to Iran itself.
