Moscow has issued a scathing condemnation of the joint US-Israel military operation against Iran, warning that the brutal consequences will burden ordinary citizens for years to come. In a fiery press briefing, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused the United States of fabricating threats to justify a violent overthrow of Iran’s constitutional order.
Zakharova dismissed Iran’s alleged provocations as mere pretexts for aggression against a sovereign UN member state. She highlighted Washington’s open admission of seeking ‘regime change’ in Tehran, a move that reeks of imperial overreach. The world watched in horror as reports emerged of a devastating strike on a girls’ primary school in Minab, claiming 165 lives, mostly young students.
‘This barbaric attack not only violates international humanitarian law but strikes at the heart of basic human values,’ Zakharova declared. While Iranian authorities strive to maintain order amid the chaos, she cautioned that the fallout from this military campaign will ravage civilian infrastructure, local economies, and ripple through global markets.
The Russian official lambasted Western media for ignoring the tragedy, pointing to a glaring double standard. ‘Children dying in conflicts usually spark global outrage—yet here, silence reigns,’ she noted. Urging all parties to halt the violence, Zakharova called for diplomatic solutions to prevent further civilian deaths and regional destabilization. As tensions simmer, Moscow’s voice stands as a stark reminder of the human cost of unchecked aggression.
