On Saturday, Russia condemned US President Donald Trump and Israel for their initiation of an aggressive attack on Iran. According to the Russian government, this action threatens to destabilize the entire Middle East, driving the region into what it terms an 'abyss'. The attacks are aimed at destabilizing Iran's leadership under the pretext of ending security threats to the US and offering Iranian citizens a chance to overthrow their government. However, the underlying concern is the potential escalation of regional tensions as various players react to the unfolding violence.

The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed that these actions represent yet another dangerous adventure by Washington and Tel Aviv, warning that the situation could rapidly lead to a humanitarian, economic, and possibly radiological disaster. They highlighted that this reckless escalation could induce countries in the region and beyond to enhance their defensive capabilities in the face of perceived threats, suggesting a cycle of increasing militarization and conflict could ensue.

This statement illustrates Russia's growing apprehension about US involvement in the Middle East and its implications for global security. As the geopolitical landscape shifts, such aggressive policies not only jeopardize stability in the region but may also fuel a broader arms race among countries, as nations feel compelled to fortify themselves against growing hostilities.
