Russia delivered a sharp warning to the United States against providing military support to Israel’s ongoing bombing campaign against Iran.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that direct U.S. military assistance to Israel could destabilize the Middle East situation.
Ryabkov cautioned America against supplying assistance to Israel or even considering such support, according to Interfax news agency reports.
The Russian official confirmed that the Kremlin maintains contact with both Israel and Iran during the escalating conflict.
The warning comes as U.S. officials indicated Iran faces a 24 to 48-hour window to surrender before potential American intervention.
President Trump considers joining Israel’s military campaign as the conflict enters its sixth day.
White House officials described the next two days as critical for finding a diplomatic solution to the Middle East crisis.
Trump posted on Truth Social that he “knew where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei is hiding” but would not launch a strike “yet.”
The President added “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” to his social media message.
Israeli officials promised a surprise attack on Thursday night similar to their pager attack on Hezbollah leadership.
Trump met with advisors in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss the escalating situation.
ABC News sources reported that the President has grown frustrated by Iran’s response since Israel began bombing operations on Friday.
The President does not want the situation to develop where Iran appears to have called his bluff, according to reports.
A White House spokesperson confirmed U.S. forces in the Middle East remain in a “defensive posture” despite military activity.
Despite the defensive stance claim, military ships and planes moved to regional frontiers amid the flurry of activity.
Donald Trump considers launching a U.S. strike on Tehran following crisis talks with security advisers about the Israel-Iran conflict, per the Daily Mail.
Tucker Carlson recently subjected Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to an intense interrogation; one that revealed startling claims about American military involvement in strikes against Iran.
Resist the Mainstream has reported that Carlson has openly criticized what he views as Trump’s departure from America First principles during the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
Carlson pressed Cruz with a series of challenging inquiries about his understanding of Iran.
The exchange culminated in Cruz making a startling declaration about American participation in military strikes against the Islamic Republic.
“You said Israel was [carrying out strikes],” Carlson stated.
This prompted Cruz to respond: “I’ve said we. Israel is leading them, but we’re supporting them.”
Carlson immediately recognized the implications of Cruz’s words. “You’re breaking news here,” he told the senator.
“The U.S. government last night denied… on behalf of Trump, that we’re acting on Israel’s behalf in any offensive capacity.”
Cruz appeared to retreat from his initial statement, telling Carlson: “No, we’re not bombing them. Israel is bombing them.”
The host pressed further, emphasizing the gravity of the senator’s words about potential American warfare against Iran.
“You just said we were. This is high stakes. You’re a senator. If you’re saying the United States is at war with Iran right now, people are listening,” Carlson declared.
