MOSCOW: Russia criticised US President Donald Trump and Israel for embarking on a dangerously irresponsible attack on Iran, which Moscow said was plunging the entire Middle East into the abyss.
The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, targeting its leadership and plunging the Middle East into a new conflict that Trump said would end a security threat to the US and give Iranians a chance to topple their rulers.
“Washington and Tel Aviv have once again embarked on a dangerous adventure that is rapidly bringing the region closer to a humanitarian, economic, and possibly radiological catastrophe,” Russia’s foreign ministry said.
