'This would destabilize the whole situation,' Russia warns US against Iranian intervention

'This would destabilize the whole situation,' Russia warns US against

America's intervention in the conflict between Israel and Iran would lead to "another terrible spiral of escalation," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Russian state news agency TASS.

The US and Russia are backing different sides in the conflict. While Donald Trump is demanding an "unconditional surrender" from Iran and is reportedly considering strikes against it, Moscow sees Tehran as a key ally.

Earlier this year, Vladimir Putin signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty with his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, Article One of which states that they are eager to develop cooperation in defense and security.

Iran has also supplied Moscow with Shahed drones that have played a key role in Russia's war against Ukraine.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel's attacks as "cynical" and "unprovoked," and just yesterday Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned the US not to provide military aid to Israel.

"This would dramatically destabilize the whole situation," he said.

All of this puts Moscow and Washington on a collision course over the Israel-Iran crisis and could be a major setback in Russia-US relations that have improved since Donald Trump's re-election.
