An ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin has said that "a full-scale war" in the Middle East is possible following Israel's airstrikes on Iran.
-snip-
Konstantin Kosachev, vice-speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament, made clear that Russia would stand by its ally, Iran.
"Israel's actions cannot be justified from a legal, political, military or moral point of view. The only hope, albeit illusory, of avoiding a full-scale war is a consolidated condemnation of this operation by the international community," he said, according to Russia's official TASS news agency.
"We can and must hope for another demonstration of restraint from Iran. One must always hope for the best, but naturally there are limits to [Iran's] patience."

A message to the Iranians: don't count on any Russian military support.
Didn’t Iran launch an attack on Isreal last year? Isreal said they would retaliate when they are ready. So, why doesn’t Putin just stay the f#$k out of it. They can’t whoop a country the size of Texas. This is getting bad real quick.
I wondered where the moron brigade here got its talking points.
Now we now.
Thanks for posting.
let’s get it on big boy
according to you, the west is supposed to wait until Iran starts setting off suitcase nukes all over the western world
today, the mulllaaahhh are wiping their asses with both hands and we’re likely listening in on all the chatter
Russia has lost 1,000,000 young men in this stupid Ukrainian war.
If they attack Isreal ,Heaven help us all.
President Trump didn’t move our bombers around the world for nothing. You better be careful Puttie Pute.
They won’t. They are currently blustering about violation of the sacred UN.
Kind of like the sternly worded letters from US congressman.
Looks as if God had put out his cigar there.
Israel and Iran have been at war since October 7.
The Iranians ordered the Hamas October 7 attacks to derail the Middle East Abraham Accords and instigate a major regional war against Israel by a coalition of Arab states.
Iran and it's entire terrorist proxy army network in Gaza, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen (to name a few) has been throwing everything they have at Israel and the US in the region for going on two years.
They have lost their war to destroy Israel. If they had any more resources to throw into the fight they would have already done so.
If Iran or their proxies execute terrorist attacks on the US they need to be dealt with with overwhelming and disproportionate force.
Iran simply cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons and more capable missiles
Putin is no doubt unhappy with the recent turn of events as he has been trying to force the US to divert weapons that could be used in the Ukraine into the Middle East and pin the US down in the region but this has backfired and Russia has essentially been kicked out of the Middle East and Israel is dismantling the Iranian military industrial complex that is supporting Russia in Ukraine.
Israel Air Force is very efficient.12 magic mullas above ground and Mahdi in the well better be listening for the sound of approaching fighter jets
Sabre rattling from a country that doesn’t have much of a military left, after what was supposed to be a 2 week event to take over Ukraine. They were buying Iranian drones and that’s why they are pissed. No more Iranian drones after the Israelis are finished. I have no doubt that Israel could take out Russia if it wanted to. The intelligence the Mossad have is incredible. They got the top Iranian air force commanders in one strike, and when they are done Iran will be an impotent wasteland.
What a stupid typo I made! Glad you could still read it.
Phone and no coffee makes for poor posting.
Yes, we’ve been inundated with trolls and antisemites, some with long standing registrations and sporadic posting history, with multi year gaps. Reeks of paid plants.
The hardcore antisemites post on Saturday when they know Jewish freepers (who are generally religious) won’t respond.
How dare you malign Putin's valiant North Korean troops!
Putin is probably already preparing to announce another "Special Military Operation."
After all, he still has two-thirds of his long-range cruise missile-capable bombers! And it's not like the Israelis already had any experience in covertly establishing drone-launch sites in enemy territory, is it?
Putin would be wise to redeploy all of his aircraft to somewhere where they would be safe from drone-attacks - maybe the Kamchatka Peninsula?
Of course, Putin has lost his sole Mediterranean naval base, in Tartus (Syria). But he still commands a significant naval fighting force in the Mediterranean - one which almost rivals its proud Black Sea fleet!
Regards,
They won’t attack Israel. At this point, they are no match for Israel and they know it. The Russian military has been reduced to bare bones with their war on Ukraine. They were buying drones from Iran. Mossad’s spies are probably already inside Russia’s military.
But invading Ukraine in order to conquer it, under the premise that NATO is a needless deterrent, is.
