Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that it thinks it is too early for anyone to have a realistic picture of damage inflicted on Iran’s nuclear facilities by US airstrikes, Reuters reports.

Peskov was responding to a question about damage assessments offered by US President Donald Trump, who has suggested that the US attack obliterated Tehran’s nuclear programme.

He 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.
