Russia Warns the U.S. Against Military Intervention in Iran-Israel War

 

 

Russia issued a strong warning to the United States against any "military intervention" in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, describing such a step as "extremely dangerous" with "unpredictable negative consequences." The warning came from Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who also expressed grave concern over Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure.

 

Ms. Zakharova stated that the world was "millimetres" from a catastrophe, drawing parallels to the 2011 Fukushima accident and questioning the lack of global outcry from environmentalists. She emphasized that "nuclear facilities are being struck," and the UN nuclear safety watchdog has already noted specific damage.

 

Adding to Russia's concerns, the head of Russia's nuclear energy corporation cautioned that an Israeli attack on Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, which was built by Russia and is Iran's only operating nuclear plant, could lead to a "Chernobyl-style catastrophe."

 

These warnings follow US President Donald Trump's announcement on Wednesday that he was considering joining Israel in strikes against Iran, stating, "I may do it, I may not do it." Russia, along with the UAE, had called for an immediate cessation of the conflict between Iran and Israel advocating for a diplomatic and political solution to Tehran's nuclear issue. Russian President Vladimir Putin had even offered to mediate the conflict last week in calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

 

Russia's warning is a significant factor in the complex dynamics of the Iran-Israel conflict. It signals Russia's strong opposition to US military involvement and highlights the potential for wider, unpredictable consequences. While it may influence US decision-making by raising the stakes, it doesn't guarantee that the US will refrain from intervention. The situation remains highly fluid and dangerous.
