Reference Message Network reported on June 20th according to AFP's report on June 19th, Russia warned Washington not to make any "military intervention" in the conflict between Iran and Israel on the 19th, and warned that this would bring "truly unpredictable negative consequences". At this time, President Trump did not rule out the possibility of the US going to war.
"We must warn Washington not to take any military intervention actions in this situation, which will constitute an extremely dangerous move and bring truly unpredictable negative consequences," said Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry at a press conference held in St. Petersburg.
The report said that US President Trump did not rule out the possibility of the US going to war as an ally of Israel with the aim of destroying Iran's nuclear program. Although Iran denied it, it was still accused of attempting to manufacture nuclear weapons.
The report also said that although Russia has historically maintained good relations with Israel, since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Israel's war in Gaza, bilateral relations have been affected. On the contrary, Moscow's relations with Tehran have significantly improved in recent years. The two countries signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty in January this year aimed at strengthening their relationship, especially military cooperation, but the treaty does not include mutual defense clauses.
Russian President Putin clearly stated on the 19th that in the face of the escalating military standoff with Israel, Tehran "did not request" military assistance from Moscow. (Translated by Pan Geping)
