Russians threaten horror strikes on Europe in revenge for Iran – ‘Trump untied our hands’ | World | News
Experts accused Donald Trump of “unwittingly creating political and psychological opportunities”, while Russian propagandists threatened to strike fear in Europe in response to Iran’s missile attack. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday expressed his condolences over the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Russian President called the act “a murder committed in cynical violation of all norms of human decency and international law.” Speaking about Russia’s next move, Sergey Karnaukhov, former president and CEO of the Center for National Interest, and Dmitry Simes, former president and CEO of the Center for National Interest, underlined what needs to be done while accusing Europe of “declaring war” against Russia.
In a conversation with Vladimir Solovyov on the Solovyov Live channel, he said: “Estonia is waging war against us. I think we should give some thought to the fact that Mr. Trump unwittingly creates political and psychological opportunities for us. He untied our hands so that our commander-in-chief does whatever he deems appropriate for the security of the country.”
The presenter of the program continued to make threats to Europe. Mr Solovyov said: “But we see what is happening. The only language Europe understands is the language of force, and only when force is used against them. They saw Oreshnik being used twice and decided to take cover in their little house. Clearly it is time to attack their little house.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry harshly condemned the US-Israeli joint military operation against Iran the previous day, describing it as “a pre-planned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state” and a violation of the fundamental principles of international law.
In Moscow’s view, “Washington and Tel Aviv have once again embarked on a dangerous adventure that is rapidly bringing the region closer to a humanitarian, economic and radiological disaster.”
While the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed that the United States and Israel “covered themselves with imaginary concern to prevent the Iranians from acquiring nuclear weapons,” in fact, according to Moscow, their real goal was “to destroy the constitutional order and destroy the leadership of a state they do not like, which refuses to submit to coercive dictatorship and hegemonism.”
The foreign ministry also called on Russians in Iran and Israel to leave these countries immediately if possible.
