The United States has attacked Iran's nuclear facilities. This is a real blow to Russia's ally.
A serviceman and political consultant Alexander Antonyuk told Channel 24 about this, noting that the US strike on Iran is a serious slap in the face for totalitarian regimes. Russia and Iran have signed a strategic partnership agreement. But dictator Putin has once again demonstrated that he cannot protect his allies.
How will this affect Ukraine?
As Antonyuk noted, the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities is a new source of global “turbulence” and crisis. Perhaps, this period will later be called the third world war. Various military actions continue to flare up in the world.
Unfortunately, as a result of the escalation in the Middle East, oil prices have risen. Russia is interested in this.
High oil prices improve Russia's financial capabilities. If additional sanctions are not introduced, including on the maximum price for their raw materials, then the Kremlin will receive additional resources, Antonyuk said.
Let us add that President Donald Trump said that US strikes on Iran could be repeated if they do not want to meet halfway and agree to peace. Iran said that it will continue its nuclear program despite the attacks from the US. They allegedly removed critical materials from three nuclear facilities before the US struck them.
