Speaking on Wednesday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov expressed deep concern over reports that the U.S. was weighing military options in support of Israel.

“This would be a step that would radically destabilise the entire situation,” Ryabkov warned, urging Washington to abandon any “speculative options” regarding military intervention.
The Russian official’s remarks follow reports that U.S. President Donald Trump and his advisers are actively discussing the possibility of joining Israel in targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The discussions reportedly come in response to Tehran’s continued missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets, which have escalated in response to an initial Israeli air assault last Friday.
That assault, which marked the beginning of the current conflict, saw Israeli warplanes target Iranian nuclear sites, prominent scientists, and senior military leaders in what Tehran described as an act of aggression. Russia has publicly condemned Israel’s actions, labelling them as unprovoked and illegal.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence agency, described the current standoff between Iran and Israel as “critical,” further underlining the seriousness with which Moscow views the situation.

In one post, Trump appeared to threaten Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding… We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.”.…..For More READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE ▶▶
