Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev warned that World War III “will undoubtedly begin” if US regime-change policies continue.
Key Developments
- Medvedev warned that World War III “will undoubtedly begin” if Trump continues regime change efforts.
- He said Trump made a “grave mistake” attacking Iran.
- Russia called US-Israeli strikes “unprovoked armed aggression.”
- Lavrov urged “de-escalating the situation” and a “political-diplomatic settlement.”
- Moscow stressed civilian protection amid escalating regional conflict.
World War III
Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev issued a stark warning Monday, declaring that global war could follow continued US efforts to reshape governments abroad.
Speaking to the Russian state news agency Tass, Medvedev said, “If Trump continues his insane course of criminally changing political regimes, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could be the trigger. Any event.”
He described US actions as “a war by the US and its allies to preserve global dominance.”
Medvedev said US President Donald Trump had made “a grave mistake” by attacking Iran.
“With his decision, he put all Americans under potential threat, even despite the fact that the Iranian regime is not liked in neighboring Arab countries,” Medvedev said.
He added: “More importantly, the late Ayatollah (Ali Khamenei) was the spiritual father of nearly 300 million Shiites. And now he is also a martyr. You can imagine the rest.”
“And now there is no doubt that Iran will pursue the creation of nuclear weapons with redoubled energy,” he continued.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Medvedev argued that Iran’s leadership and society would consolidate following the strikes.
“They will cope, but the price of revival will be high. It requires a high level of societal consolidation. And the Americans have provided such consolidation,” he said.
He also warned that the vulnerability of US and Israeli officials “has significantly increased” since Iran declared what he described as a holy war.
“The fact that the Iranians haven’t responded too seriously yet means they don’t have many opportunities. But they know how to wait; they are an ancient civilization,” he said.
In one of his strongest remarks, Medvedev warned of the consequences of nuclear confrontation.
“There is one guarantee: the US is afraid of Russia and knows the price of a nuclear conflict. If one were to occur, Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be child’s play in a sandbox,” he said.
He further described the reaction of European governments as “toadyism and vileness,” adding that “European vassals, with lust and delight, wipe their faces after receiving a dose of American-Israeli ‘yellow dew’ directly in their eyes.”
Lavrov: “Unprovoked Armed Aggression”
Meanwhile, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a phone conversation on Tuesday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to discuss the regional escalation.
In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry said: “The development of the situation in the region resulting from the unprovoked armed aggression of the US and Israel against Iran was discussed.”
The ministry stated that such actions violate “fundamental international law norms and have serious consequences for the entire Middle East region.”
According to the statement, Lavrov “reaffirmed the principled position in favor of de-escalating the situation, renouncing the use of force, and transitioning to a political-diplomatic settlement of the conflict, as well as Russia’s readiness to contribute to this in every possible way.”
The ministry added that priority was placed on “taking measures to ensure the safety of civilians and civilian infrastructure in all countries of the region.”
The statements from Moscow follow large-scale US and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and subsequent Iranian drone and missile retaliation targeting Israel and US-linked sites in Gulf countries.
As Washington vows further action and Tehran signals sustained resistance, Russia’s leadership has framed the escalation as a violation of international law and warned that broader global conflict may follow.
