"It would be a big mistake to perceive Iran's restraint as weakness", Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said this while commenting on the Hamas-Israel conflict during an interview with the local "Russia Today" (RT) TV channel, Paralel.Az reports.

"I see that neither Iran nor any other country is eager to start a large-scale war in the region. The problem is that if this restraint is perceived as weakness or green light, to be able to do what it wants in Gaza, it will be a big mistake," said the minister.
