Russian Foreign Ministry: US Threats of New Military Strikes on Iran 'Categorically Unacceptable'

Russia condemned the US stance towards Iran as a “disruptive external interference” in its internal politics and stated that their threats of new military strikes against the country are “categorically unacceptable.” “Those who plan to use externally inspired unrest as a pretext to repeat the aggression against Iran committed in June 2025 must be aware of the disastrous consequences of such actions for the situation in the Middle East and global international security,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stated. Russia appears to support Iran's internal stability and oppose any external involvement that could lead to further destabilization of the region.
