Russia has warned of the consequences of a military strike against Iranian nuclear infrastructure after US President Donald Trump’s threats to bomb Iran if it does not reach an agreement on its nuclear program. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov confirmed that the military escalation will be disastrous for the entire region, noting that Russia is against forced solutions and aggression.
On the other hand, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called for solving the problem in peaceful ways, stressing Iran’s pledge not to develop nuclear weapons. Later, Iran sent a message to the Security Council condemning the American threats, confirming its willingness to respond if an attack was carried out.
On the other hand, Russian experts believe that the American escalation may push Iran to accelerate its nuclear program, which raises Washington and Tel Aviv, especially in light of Iran’s progress in this field.
