The aftermath of the joint military assault by the US and Israel has sent shockwaves through global politics. Amid reports of explosions in Tehran and attacks across Iran, Russia's intense reaction has emerged. The Vice Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, launched a direct criticism at US President Donald Trump, asserting that Trump has once again displayed his 'true colors.'
With a hint of sarcasm, Medvedev remarked that Trump, who often presents himself as a 'peacemaker,' has opted for the military path. This statement comes at a critical juncture as the US and Israel commenced a significant campaign against Iran last Saturday. The initial reports of the assault came from Tehran, where explosions were reportedly near the office of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. According to Iranian media, air raids occurred in several parts of the country, with plumes of smoke visible over the capital.
Analysts are closely evaluating these developments, trying to gauge the potential for escalation.
The international community watches on edge as tensions simmer, uncertain of the next move.
Via a video message on social media, Trump announced that the US military has initiated 'major military operations' in Iran. He alleged that Iran is actively advancing its nuclear program and developing missiles capable of reaching the United States. Trump stated that this action was essential for the safety of the American people.
However, Russia has labeled the entire operation as a perilous and destabilizing move. Medvedev's statement is perceived as a stern warning from Moscow. Analysts believe this signals that Russia will not openly support military action against Iran and may attempt to corner the US diplomatically.
Before the attack, the US had carried out significant military deployments in the Middle East and repeatedly warned Iran regarding negotiations. Now, with Russia's sharp response, the crisis seems to be becoming more complicated. The international community is observing to see if this confrontation remains limited or evolves into a wider regional conflict. Amid US pressure on Iran, Russia consistently issued warnings directed at Trump.
