Russia's Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev made striking statements regarding the tensions in the Middle East. Medvedev argued that a nuclear conflict between Iran and Israel has become inevitable, claiming that the recent actions of the US and Israel have accelerated this process.
"RISKS HAVE INCREASED FURTHER"
Medvedev expressed that despite the Washington administration's claims of eliminating nuclear threats in the Middle East, the recent developments have increased the risks rather than reducing them. He stated that military operations do not eliminate the causes of a potential conflict, but rather drag the parties into greater tension.
"INEVITABLE OUTCOME" ASSESSMENT
Although the Russian official described the emerging picture as negative, he stated that the recent moves by the US and Israel have made this outcome inevitable. According to Medvedev, the current process is making the balance of power in the region even more fragile.
TENSION HAS BEEN ESCALATING SINCE FEBRUARY 28
The tension in the region rose with the military operations launched against Iran on February 28. It was reported that there were destruction and civilian casualties in attacks targeting many locations, including Tehran. In response, Iran also carried out retaliatory attacks against Israel and US military points in the Middle East.
JUSTIFICATION: NUCLEAR PROGRAM
While the Washington and Tel Aviv administrations initially defended the operation as a preemptive step against Iran's nuclear program, it is noted that the goal of regime change in Tehran has also been clearly articulated during the process.
