Russia Condemns US Threats of Military Strikes Against Iran

Russia strongly condemned the threats from the US regarding potential military strikes on Iran, labeling them “unacceptable” and warning of detrimental consequences for the region and global security. Moscow also criticized the undermining of Iran's internal political processes, asserting that Tehran is seeking constructive dialogue to address the socio-economic impacts of Western sanctions. Russia rejects attempts to coerce Iran’s foreign partners through increased trade tariffs, emphasizing that sanctions hinder the country’s development and create problems for Iranian citizens. Furthermore, Russia accuses external forces of attempting to destabilize Iran by employing “color revolution” tactics, namely inciting violent unrest through provocateurs. Despite internal tensions, Russia expresses hope for a gradual stabilization of the situation, as thousands of Iranians demonstrate in support of the country’s sovereignty.
