Russia has sent a warning to the US following Donald Trump reportedly approved plans to strike Iran.
As Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities, and Iran returned with rockets Many are worried the possibility that World War III could be just around the corner.
Trump has recently expressed his opinion on the issue, and reports suggest that the US might be planning to launch a series of attacks of its own against Iran according to ABC News.
Russia as Iran’s ally has issued warnings to the contrary of the possibility that an U.S. intervention could “radically destabilize the entire situation.”
Trump remains vague regarding his intentions: I may be able to do it, but I could not do it, and nobody knows what I’m planning to accomplish, Trump told reporters.
The Wall Street Journal stated the following: Trump had already approved strikes, but is waiting to determine the extent to which Iran decides to renounce its nuclear goals.
As Trump said: I prefer to make the decision in a second before the due date .
Sources claim that he’s warm towards the notion of attacking Iran’s underground Fordow enrichment plant for uranium with the goal of degrading Iran’s nuclear power.
The Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov told Interfax this week that Moscow has urged to the U.S. to steer clear from direct involvement, pointing out that the conflict has already killed thousands of Iranian lives, as well as numerous Israeli victims.
The remarks came in the wake of Trump’s call to negotiate the “unconditional surrender” from Iran and his ruminations of striking against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reacted that an U.S. military intervention would be “costly”, declaring: “The Iranian nation will not surrender.”
Russian spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Reuters: Nuclear facilities are being destroyed… What is your concern from the] whole world community?
Then, a shivering two-word message: the world is only millimeters of “nuclear catastroph e “.
Moscow offers mediation, an offer that Trump rejected and said to Putin: “Do me a favor. Mediate your own. Let’s talk to Russia first. “
Putin then said Russia had offered solutions to everyone involved: We’re not imposing any rules on anyone else; we just want to discuss the possible solution. However, the final decision to take lies with the leadership of these nations which includes, in particular, Iran as well as Israel.
Despite the alarms raised by speculation about “World War III,” experts remain skeptical of the possibility that Russia will militarily intervene according to Time.
When Iran and Russia agreed to a strategic alliance earlier in the year, analysts observe that it does not have the mutual defense clause.
According to Middle East analyst Marianna Belenkaya stated, Russia is consumed by Ukraine and is ” trying to restore or improve relations with Washington .”
Russia, China, and Pakistan have contacted to the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session.
France, Germany, and Germany, France, and the UK have a meeting together with Iran at Geneva in the coming week for talks on issues with nuclear although the US isn’t currently involved.
