MOSCOW, June 17 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it saw that Israel did not want mediation efforts over its conflict with Iran for now amid what it said was "galloping escalation".
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called on both sides to exercise restraint and said that the level of uncertainty around what was happening was absolute.
Peskov said that Russia's offer to mediate if necessary still stood but that it saw Israel was for now not interested in seeking a peaceful solution.
