Russia criticized U. S. President Donald Trump and Israel for attacking Iran, claiming it is leading the Middle East into crisis. The U. S. and Israel targeted Iran’s leadership to eliminate a security threat and to support Iranians in challenging their government, according to Trump.
Russia’s foreign ministry warned that these actions could lead to a humanitarian, economic, and possibly radiological disaster, escalating tensions in the region and encouraging countries to seek more severe defenses against perceived threats. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, also criticized Trump’s approach, suggesting that the U. S. does not have the same endurance as Iran, which has a long historical legacy. He expressed skepticism about the U. S.’s ability to maintain its position in the face of Iran’s deep-rooted history, highlighting the contrast between the two nations’ timelines.
