Russian Foreign Ministry։ "Moscow condemns US threats against Tehran"

Moscow does not consider Washington's threats to use force against Tehran appropriate and condemns such tactics. This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

"The threats really exist, as do the ultimatums. We consider such methods inappropriate, we condemn them, considering them a means of imposing the own will on the Iranian side," Ryabkov said.

According to him, this can complicate the situation and "cause consequences that will require much greater efforts in the future in terms of mitigating the risk of another hotbed of tension and, God forbid, conflict, open conflict. In the Middle East this probability is already quite high."

"We offer an alternative path," the senior diplomat noted.

US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with "unprecedented bombings" if it does not reach an agreement with the US on its nuclear program. He also promised that "bad things" would happen to Iran if it did not reach an agreement with the United States.
