Key points
- Israel has been striking Iran, particularly at locations where government officials may be located, causing concern in Russia.
-
Russia is nervous about the capabilities of Western military technology and its use, which they will not be able to counter.
Israel is launching powerful strikes against Iran, particularly against places where government officials may be located. The US has not yet joined the war, but has strongly condemned the actions of the Iranian regime.
The missiles that flew towards the government bunkers in Iran could not help but frighten the Russians. But, as journalist and blogger Roman Tsymbalyuk noted to Channel 24, one should not compare Iran and Russia.
What are Russians afraid of?
There are big geopolitical differences between the two countries, so no one would dare launch missiles at Vladimir Putin's bunkers so easily. And let's not forget that Russia has nuclear weapons.
Now the Russians are so nervous because they have been shown how Western military equipment works. If there is a task to achieve victory by military means, to destroy the nuclear program, the ayatollah regime – this will be accomplished, the journalist emphasized.
Often the West's behavior looked rather indecisive, but now the Kremlin has seen what it really looks like when there is political will. It is not worth saying that Israel's Iron Dome air defense system allegedly did not work. After all, Iran launched ballistic missiles.
“The Russians realize that if they cannot shoot down even a Ukrainian drone that has been flying towards them for several hours, then what will they do with ballistic missiles? There are a lot of them in the West, and not only ATACMS,” added Roman Tsymbalyuk.
Donald Trump promised that he would “take care of Russia”, he has repeatedly said that Putin is making a mistake, playing with fire. And now he has refused the Russian dictator's mediation between Iran and Israel.
By the way, on the night of June 19, Iran launched rockets at Israel again. They hit four cities, including the Soroka hospital in Beersheba. One of the rockets fell on a building in the center of Tel Aviv. A total of 16 people are known to have been injured, three of them in serious condition.
