As Iran Fires Missiles On US Airbases In Qatar And Iraq, Russia Warns That ‘World War 3 Could Be Very Close’ After Threat From Trump On Truth Social

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that ‘World War III could be very close’ following the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, missiles fall on US bases in Qatar and Iraq

Trump two days after the US carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites aired a statement from Russia, and a warning to the country. ‘Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?’ wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform on Monday morning. ‘Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY.’ That’s the memo.

“Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.” Ecclesiastes 10:20 (KJB)

Iran on Monday night fired 10 ballistic missiles at the US Central Command (CENTCOM)’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and one ballistic missile at an American base in Iraq in retaliation for Washington’s attack on three Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, multiple sources told The Jerusalem Post. Donald Trump in his address on Saturday said that the US strike on Iranian bases was meant to end a war, not start one. He may just have started one anyway. Donald Trump confidentially campaigned for president on his ability to end the war in Ukraine from Day 1, end the war in Gaza, and prevent a war in the Middle East. But as his presidency unfolds, he is doing just the opposite of what he promised.

Lavrov warns of possible World War III after US attack on Iran

FROM AURORA NEWS: “There is a huge potential for conflict right under our noses, in Ukraine and the Middle East,” Putin had stated days earlier during the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. Lavrov echoed that warning by questioning the legitimacy of certain countries exercising their right to self-defense, disregarding the UN Charter. According to the diplomat, this attitude is pushing the world toward “total chaos.”

Tensions rose sharply following the precision strikes launched by the United States last Saturday, which hit the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Washington confirmed that the operation was ordered by President Donald Trump and that its objective was to neutralize the Iranian regime’s strategic capabilities.

Reactions from Moscow were immediate. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the attacks “irresponsible” and in violation of international law, emphasizing that they were carried out by a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

In line with Lavrov, former Russian president and current Vice President of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, stated that most countries around the world reject this military action. According to him, the damage to Iranian infrastructure was minimal, and the offensive could have accelerated a more favorable international response to Tehran, including the possible transfer of nuclear weapons.

The crisis erupted on June 13, when Israel bombed targets in Iran and declared a state of emergency. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained that the operation sought to dismantle the Iranian regime’s nuclear capabilities. The Islamic Republic responded with missile strikes, triggering a rapid regional escalation.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is now heading to Moscow for talks with President Putin. His Russian counterpart, Lavrov, stated that Israel and the United States “crossed a very big red line” with the attack on nuclear facilities. For its part, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that no increases in radiation levels were detected following the attacks, and ruled out any impacts on health or the environment.

“Europe is paying a heavy price,” Lavrov concluded. “The West has already shown its true colors, and now we are experiencing another chapter in that story.”

In the same interview, Lavrov also harshly criticized the Western stance on the Ukrainian conflict and the demonization of Russia. “They are cynically using Ukraine against us,” the foreign minister said. He also noted an “almost animal-like aggressiveness” in European discourse, especially from figures like Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas, whom he dismissed with contempt. Lavrov also denounced the economic impact of the sanctions and energy policies imposed on Moscow. He said, “They have almost completely abandoned Russian fuels and swallowed the terrorist act in the northern flows,” referring to the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. READ MORE
