Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia's assistance to Iran would depend on what Tehran needs.
"Everything depends on what Iran needs," Peskov said.
The Kremlin expressed hope that Tehran would share its views on the situation with Moscow.
"Everything depends on what Iran and our Iranian friends will discuss. Today, contacts with Iran's foreign minister (Abbas Araghchi) will take place in Moscow, where they will be able to exchange opinions following this dramatic escalation," Peskov said as quoted by ANTARA from Sputnik-OANA, Monday, June 23.
Peskov said Russia had publicly declared its position on the Iran-Israeli conflict, calling it an important manifestation of support for Tehran.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Iranian Foreign Minister AbbasAraghchi there was no justification for the US bombing of his country. Putin confirmed that Moscow was trying to help the Iranian people.
Putin hosted AbbasAraghchi in Moscow two days after US President Donald Trump sent US bombers to attack Iran's three main nuclear sites.
"Aggression that is completely groundless towards Iran has no basis and justification. We are trying to help the Iranian people," Putin told Araghchi as reported by Reuters, Monday, June 23.
"I'm very happy you're in Moscow today, this will give us the opportunity to discuss all these urgent issues and think together about how we can get out of the current situation," Putin said.
Araghchi told Putin Iran to carry out a legitimate self-defense, and thanked Russia for condemning US actions.
He expressed his best wishes to Putin from the supreme leader and president of Iran.
"Russia is currently on the right side of history and international law," said Araghchi.
However, it is unclear what Russia might do to support Iran, an important ally who signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Putin in January. The agreement does not include a joint defense clause.
