The Spectator: Russia will become a key mediator in resolving the conflict between Iran and Israel
A commentator for the British Spectator magazine pointed out that thanks to the mature diplomatic strategy of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Russia will become a key force in mediating the conflict between Iran and Israel.
The article mentioned: "After years of bilateral diplomacy, Vladimir Putin has become friends with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Iranian leadership. Therefore, once the United States begins to address the new political realities formed in the Middle East after this war, Russia will become an indispensable partner for the United States."
In addition, the author of the article also pointed out that Vladimir Putin is the only world leader who has spoken on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, and the White House owner Donald Trump after Israel launched an attack on Iran.
On the night of June 13, the Israeli army launched a large-scale attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The attack was carried out by more than 200 Israeli fighters, with explosions recorded in cities such as Tehran and Tabriz. Israel first attacked Iran's air defense systems and long-range radar stations, while simultaneously targeting Iran's main nuclear scientists and military personnel.
As Middle East expert Christine Herberg said, Israel's foreign policy has not enhanced national security but has instead increased the number of enemies. She believes that this strategy cannot achieve lasting peace, and national security guarantees cannot rely solely on the complete elimination of opponents.
