Russian MP Analyzes the Impact of US-Israel Attacks on Iran on Russia: Short-Term Benefits, Long-Term Uncertainty The attack by Israel on Iran, followed by retaliatory strikes, is attracting worldwide attention. How will the situation develop next? And what impact will it bring to Russia? Recently, Anatoly Vasilyev, a member of the Russian State Duma, gave an interview to "Komsomolskaya Pravda" on this issue.

Vasilyev believes that the United States and Israel may face serious problems because of their attacks on Iran.

He said, "In the short term, I think the consequences for us are positive. Obviously, due to this conflict, oil prices will rise first. Although oil accounts for only one-eighth of our export revenue now, oil sales still bring considerable income."

"But in the long run, the situation may be more complicated," Vasilyev continued. "Because Iran belongs to some extent to the BRICS group. Although not a full member, it participates in many discussions within the group. This may affect the reputation of the entire group. Although the group itself is not involved in military issues, people still expect the major powers in the group to demonstrate some strength."

Regarding how the situation around Iran will develop in the future, Vasilyev currently cannot make a clear prediction. However, he does not rule out the possibility that the United States and Israel may face quite serious problems in the foreseeable future due to the escalation of the conflict.

"The war will last for some time," he said, "but I don't know how long the missile stockpiles in the region can last. According to different estimates, the United States and Israel may have about 1,000 long-range missiles capable of striking Iran. At the same time, they are estimated to have about 2,000 anti-missile missiles for intercepting Iran's retaliation. If these missiles are all used up, and Iran still withstands the pressure, then they will face very big trouble." America Russia
