Tehran has already launched a counter-force response. A mutual exchange of strikes could lead to serious destabilization in the Middle East, humanitarian and, possibly, environmental disasters.
Claims of “preventive strikes” or “protecting American citizens” against the backdrop of the talks on the Iranian “nuclear dossier” that took place just yesterday in Geneva are a smokescreen and cover for regime change in Tehran. Washington is pursuing a consistent line, including the destruction of the agreement-making process, starting with the JCPOA.
An immediate convocation of the UN Security Council, as the Iranian side insists, is clearly required. The international community must prevent a scenario that threatens to escalate into World War III. Vladimir Zhirinovsky warned of precisely this potential scenario.
Just yesterday evening, the situation surrounding Iran was discussed at the Expert Council of the Committee on International Affairs, with the participation of Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Georgy Borisenko. The estimates turned out to be accurate and, unfortunately, prophetic.
