Putin's ally Dmitry Medvedev said that some countries “are ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear weapons.”
The Kremlin reacted hysterically to the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities last night. The Russian Foreign Ministry declared a flagrant violation of international law, and Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev accused US President Donald Trump of unleashing a new war.
“Trump, who came as a peacemaker president, started a new war for the United States,” Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel on Sunday, June 22.
The Kremlin's main mouthpiece on social media added that “with this success, Trump will not receive the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Medvedev claims that “the absolute majority of countries in the world are against the actions of Israel and the United States,” and some states are even “ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear weapons.” However, he did not specify whether Russia, which is a “strategic partner” of the Islamic Republic, is among them.
He also expressed confidence that the American strike did not cause serious damage, but united Iranians around the ayatollah regime, and now Tehran will definitely create nuclear weapons.
Another Russian politician, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) of Russia and Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky stated that “the consequences of the escalation threaten to spread beyond the region”
“Washington understands the inevitability of Tehran's response. All this takes the spiral of confrontation to a new level and increases the risks of World War III,” he wrote on Telegram.
The Russian Foreign Ministry responded with a cynical statement condemning the US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, which “violates international law.”
“The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks, no matter what arguments are used to justify it, is a flagrant violation of international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council,” the statement from the foreign ministry of the aggressor state reads.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called for “an end” and the creation of conditions for “returning the situation to a political and diplomatic channel.”
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov told Russian propagandists that the Kremlin boss does not plan to talk to Trump about what happened in Iran. But he added that “if necessary” such a phone call “can be quickly agreed upon.”
Recall that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, after the US strike on nuclear facilities, said that he would urgently go to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
