Moscow – Saba:
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned on Wednesday that direct U.S. military assistance to Israel could drastically destabilize the situation in the Middle East.
The Russian news agency Interfax quoted Ryabkov as saying, "Russia warns the United States against providing such assistance to Israel, or even considering it."
He added that "Moscow is in contact with both Israel and Iran."
This warning comes as the Zionist aggression against Iran continues for the sixth consecutive day, with both sides exchanging airstrikes.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned on Wednesday of an imminent nuclear catastrophe in the Middle East due to daily attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
In remarks to Sputnik on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Zakharova stated: "Israel launches multiple missile strikes daily on Iran’s peaceful civilian nuclear facilities, which are under the supervision of IAEA monitors present there."
She added: "Based on the statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry yesterday (Tuesday), we must realize that we are just millimeters away from disaster."
