After the joint attack by Israel and America on Iran, the world believes that this is the beginning of the third world war. Iran has also retaliated by claiming to attack 7 countries simultaneously and destroy America’s military bases. Russia has also reacted strongly to such situations in the Middle East.

Russia said- America and Israel have started on a dangerous path

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said in a statement that Washington and Tel Aviv have once again embarked on a dangerous path, which is rapidly pushing the region towards humanitarian, economic and perhaps radiological devastation. The intentions of the attackers are clear and openly stated. To dismantle the constitutional order and remove the leadership of a country they believe is wrong because it has refused to bow to the pressure of power and influence.

What has Russia said in its statement?

• In a statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry, it has been said that on the morning of February 28, the US and Israeli forces carried out air strikes in Iranian territory. The extent and manner of military, political, and propaganda preparations that preceded this reckless action, including the deployment of large numbers of US troops to the area. There is no doubt that this is a deliberate, premeditated and unprovoked armed attack against a free and independent UN member state. This is a direct violation of the basic principles and rules of international law.
• Russia said that this is especially condemnable because the attacks are once again being carried out under the guise of a renewed dialogue process. Its purpose is to normalize the situation around the Islamic Republic of Iran for a long time. This is happening despite the trust given to Russia. In this assurance it was said that Israel has no interest in getting involved in a military conflict with Iran.
• Moscow said that the international community, including the leadership of the UN and IAEA, should immediately consider these irresponsible actions in an objective and non-discriminatory manner. Their aim is to undermine peace, stability and security in the Middle East.
• On behalf of Putin, it has been said that the systematic attacks carried out by the US administration continuously ignoring international law have created concern. We demand the stressed countries to return to the political and diplomatic path. As always, Russia is ready to help advance the path towards a peaceful solution based on international law, mutual respect and a balanced consideration of interests.
• Russia said that the serious consequences of these ill-conceived actions for the global non-proliferation system are being openly ignored. The US-Israeli duo is trying to hide their actions with the so-called concern of stopping Iran from making nuclear weapons.
• The Russian Foreign Ministry has said that bombing the nuclear facility operating under IAEA safeguard is not acceptable. In recent months, the US administration’s sustained and systematic attacks against the fundamental principles of the international legal order have raised particular concerns. The principles violated include non-interference in internal affairs, refraining from the use or threat of use of force, and peaceful settlement of international disputes.

Amid Israel’s attack on Iran, US President Donald Trump’s old tweet is now going viral. In this he had made a prediction about the then American President Barack Obama. This tweet was made in the year 2011. In this, Trump had said that Obama would attack Iran to win the election. This tweet was made on November 2011 at 1.18 pm Indian time.

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.
