Russian propagandists have threatened strikes on Europe following the US-Israel military operation in Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with experts claiming Trump ‘opportunities’ for Russia
Russian propagandists have issued threats to launch a horrific attack on Europe following Iran’s missile strike, with experts claiming US President Donald Trump has “unwittingly creating political and psychological opportunities”. On Sunday (March 1), Russian President Vladimir Putin offered his condolences regarding the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Russian President described the act as “a murder committed in cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law”.
Discussing Russia’s next steps, Sergey Karnaukhov, a former president and CEO of The Centre for the National Interest, and Dimitri Simes, a former president and CEO of The Centre for the National Interest, outlined what should be done as he accuses Europe of “waging war” against Russia.
During the discussion with Vladimir Solovyov on channel Solovyov Live, he said: “Estonia is waging war against us.
“I think we should give it some thought that Mr Trump unwittingly created political and psychological opportunities for us, he untied our hands for our Supreme Commander in chief to do whatever he finds appropriate to do for the nation’s security.”
The programme’s presenter carried on making menacing remarks towards Europe, reports the Express. Mr Solovyov declared: “But we see what is happening..the only language Europe understands is the language of force, and only when the force is used against them.
“They saw that Oreshnik was used twice and decided they are protected in their little house. It’s clearly time to strike their little house.”
Russia’s Foreign Ministry had severely condemned the joint US-Israeli military strike on Iran the day before, branding it “a preplanned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state” and a breach of fundamental international law principles.
According to Moscow’s assessment, “Washington and Tel Aviv have once again embarked on a dangerous adventure that is rapidly bringing the region closer to a humanitarian, economic and, not exclude, a radiological catastrophe”.
The Russian Foreign Ministry alleged that the US and Israel are “covering themselves with an imaginary concern to prevent the Iranians from acquiring nuclear weapons”.
Meanwhile, their true objective, Moscow claimed, is “to destroy the constitutional order and destroy the leadership of a state they do not like, which has refused to submit to forceful dictate and hegemonism.”
The foreign ministry also urged Russians in Iran and Israel to evacuate these nations immediately where feasible.
