BREAKING NEWS – The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has taken a dramatic turn following a U.S. military strike on Iranian targets, sparking international concern and diplomatic reactions across the globe. Among the most closely watched responses is that of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has issued a sharp and urgent statement regarding the situation.
In a televised address from the Kremlin, President Putin condemned the U.S. attack, calling it a “dangerous provocation” that risks plunging the Middle East into deeper chaos. “The sovereignty of a nation cannot be violated without consequence,” Putin said. “Russia calls for immediate de-escalation and the return to dialogue.”
The U.S. strike, which reportedly targeted nuclear infrastructure and military assets deep inside Iran, came after a series of hostile exchanges between Israeli and Iranian forces, with both sides accusing the other of initiating the aggression. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the operation as necessary for national security, stating that “Iran must not be allowed to continue its path toward regional destabilization and nuclear armament.”
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded with strong words of defiance, vowing “severe retaliation” and calling the strike an “act of war orchestrated by Israel and its allies.”
As the situation intensifies, Russia has called for an emergency session of the UN Security Council, warning of broader regional consequences if hostilities are not halted. Meanwhile, global markets are reacting with volatility, and neighboring countries are reinforcing border security.
