Key points
- On June 23, 2025, Iran shelled American bases in Qatar and Iraq.
- Savostyanov believes that the Iranian attack on American bases was a desperate move in response to US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iran shelled US bases in Qatar and Iraq on June 23, 2025. However, it was later revealed that Iran and Israel, which was supported by the Donald Trump administration, had likely agreed to a ceasefire.
The founder of the “Democratic Russia” movement, Yevgeny Savostyanov, told Channel 24 that the US leader had previously de facto acknowledged that the policy of appeasing Iran was over. The attack on the US bases was predictable, given the recent US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Attack on American bases
According to Yevgeny Savostyanov, an attack on American bases will not benefit Iran, since the Persian Gulf countries will become its enemies.
However, this was a desperate move, because there was no other way to respond (to the US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities – Channel 24), he said.
This was probably an attempt to attract the world's attention. Like, if this continues, other countries may be left without oil.
The founder of the “Democratic Russia” movement added that, despite everything, Iran will not receive any benefit from its actions against the United States of America. This is just an attempt to take revenge.
It should be noted that on the night of June 24, 2025, Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire, and both sides confirmed this. The peace initiative was proposed by the United States with the mediation of Qatar. At the same time, according to CNN, even before this statement, the Iranian representative denied receiving an official proposal for a truce.
