Is There a Sign of World War III? U.S. Supports Israel, Iran Seeks Russia’s Help Amid Rising Middle East Tensions
With tensions escalating in the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin tomorrow. Ahead of this meeting, Araghchi emphasized that he would be holding a “serious discussion” with the Russian leader.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has intensified with the involvement of the United States, raising fears of a broader war. China has already condemned the developments. Meanwhile, speculation is growing that Russia might also intervene in the conflict, which is why the Iranian foreign minister is visiting Moscow. Araghchi has reiterated that Iran shares a strong and strategic relationship with Russia.
A close aide of President Putin even stated that several countries are willing to supply nuclear weapons to Iran, further heightening global concerns.
Ahead of his Moscow visit, Araghchi declared, “Russia is a friend of Iran. We constantly consult each other. I am heading to Moscow this afternoon and will have a serious discussion with the Russian President tomorrow morning.”
He also warned that any action taken by Iran in response to U.S. attacks on its nuclear facilities will be Washington’s sole responsibility. “There is no diplomatic path left after the U.S. attacked our nuclear sites,” Araghchi stated.
Even some of America’s traditional allies have condemned the attacks on Iran, stirring unrest across the Muslim world.
While speaking with journalists in Istanbul, Araghchi accused the U.S. of crossing every possible red line. He admitted that although diplomatic channels should ideally remain open, the current situation leaves no room for diplomacy. “The anarchic administration in the U.S., behaving like it’s at war, must take full responsibility for the dangerous consequences and long-term impacts of its aggressive actions,” he said during a press conference in Turkey.
In a grim warning, the Iranian foreign minister said that the final red line—the most dangerous one—was crossed yesterday when the U.S. launched attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities. This statement marks Araghchi’s first official response since the U.S. strikes.
With growing alliances and enmities forming across global powers, experts warn that the situation bears alarming similarities to the prelude of past world wars. Whether this will actually lead to World War III remains uncertain, but the stakes are undeniably higher than ever before.
