Russia has issued a stark warning over US threats to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, saying such an attack could have 'catastrophic' consequences for the region.

'If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing,' Trump declared. 'It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.'
Moscow, which has been strengthening ties with Iran, condemned Trump's threats.
'Threats are indeed being heard, ultimatums are also being heard,' Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Russian journal 'International Affairs' in an interview, extracts of which were published on Tuesday.
'We consider such methods inappropriate, we condemn them, we consider them a way for (the US) to impose its own will on the Iranian side.'

'The consequences of this, especially if the strikes are on nuclear infrastructure, could be catastrophic for the entire region,' he cautioned.

'The consequences of this, especially if the strikes are on nuclear infrastructure, could be catastrophic for the entire region,' Ryabkov said.
'While there is still time and the 'train has not left', we need to redouble our efforts to try to reach an agreement on a reasonable basis. Russia is ready to offer its good services to Washington, Tehran and everyone who is interested in this,' he said.

I would like to see Trump end the Ukraine War and build a better relationship with Russia.
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely.
With countries like Russia, Iran, China and NK, you need to listen to whatever they scream at you not to do.
And then you need to seriously consider doing that thing.
Russia has already provided Iran with S300s and most likely S400s. Russian supplied air defense forced Israel to abort its retaliatory strike stemming from the unchecked Iranian pummeling of Nevatim last October. Whether the Iranian missiles used on Nevatim have the range to hit Diego Garcia is debatable. What is not debatable is the Iranian capability to hit those 54,000 sitting duck American troops at their trip wire bases all around the Persian Gulf.
It's an observation that applies to countries as well.
IMO, Russia has shown us how “tough” they are with this long, drawn-out war with Ukraine...With the strength Russia claims to have, this should’ve ended in a couple of months....
Durka durka durka. Blah blah blah…
They're pikers.
They should learn from us; nobody knows how to wander around a country and get blown up for 10+ years like we do.
You’re making progress! Much more intelligent than one of usual replies. I’m proud of you!
Trump’s comment about bombing Iran is both stupid and improper.
Iran has small amounts of U-235 (my guess is about a dozen bombs’ worth) and a large amount of space to hide it.
They are gong to bomb the facilities that turn ut into bomb grade material and bombs.
Misleading headline. Full quote is “catastrophic consequences for the region.”
The pro Iran crowd will be along soon. AKA Putin worshipers lol.
The Kremlin’s fan club tend to avoid any topic that reports Putin’s regime is threatening the US. It’s as is they can’t process congflicting signals. LOL.
😂😎🤣Bomb it flat.
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb,
Bomb, Bomb, Iran.
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb,
Bomb, Bomb, Iran.
