Medvedev: “Trump did not start peace, but a new war”

The US airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities caused harsh criticism on the international stage. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev strongly condemned this operation. In his opinion, although Donald Trump came to power under the slogan of peace, his actions have started a new, even more dangerous conflict.

Harsh statement from Medvedev

“Trump, elected as a peace-loving president, is now dragging the entire region into the whirlpool of war. His decisions threaten not only regional stability but also global peace,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to Medvedev, a large part of the world community does not approve of the actions of the US and Israel. He claims that even some states are ready to support Iran and, if necessary, supply it with nuclear weapons.

What is Russia’s position?

Medvedev did not directly state what position Russia, as a strategic partner of Iran, would take if necessary. However, his reflections are significant in that they highlight Russia’s geopolitical orientation.

At the same time, he noted that the US strikes did not cause much damage, but they united Iranian society around the religious regime. Now Tehran openly does not hide its desire to produce nuclear weapons.

“With such success, Trump will not get the Nobel Peace Prize… Good start, congratulations, Mr. President!” — he wrote.

Tension between the US and Iran is increasing

On the night of June 22, the US and Israel struck three main nuclear facilities in Iran — Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. US President Trump called the operation “successful” and urged Iran to return to the nuclear deal soon. Otherwise, he stated, even stronger attacks would be carried out.

Iran and international relations

Iran assessed this situation as a violation of international law. The country’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, criticized the actions of the US and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency also reported that it would continue its program and would not stop producing enriched uranium.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi confirmed that a special meeting of the organization would be convened on June 23. Although the level of radiation around the struck facilities has not increased, global concern is growing day by day.

Conclusion

Trump’s large-scale airstrike has seriously tested regional stability. These actions are not only condemned at the international level, but can also lead to major geopolitical consequences. The balance of power between Israel, Iran, the US, and Russia is now entering a new stage. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
