Could Russia bring peace between Israel and Iran — where the U.S. refuses to even try? Russia has accused Israel of “pushing the world toward a nuclear disaster.” A statement from the Russian foreign ministry said this: “The ongoing intensive attacks by the Israeli side against civilian nuclear facilities in Iran are illegal from the point of view of international law. They pose unacceptable threats to international security and push the world to a nuclear disaster, with its consequences being felt everywhere, including in Israel. Russia is calling on Israel’s leadership to come to its senses and immediately stop air raids on Iran’s nuclear installations that have guarantees from and are inspected by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency.” China has echoed Russia’s call for de-escalation, warning that the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities risk triggering a broader regional war. Also this week, 11 countries — including China, Russia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Cuba, and Venezuela — issued a joint condemnation of the Israeli strikes, emphasizing that Iran’s nuclear sites remain under IAEA oversight and are protected under international law. Will Israel pay any mind? President Trump had indicated that Russian President Putin may be the next best party to negotiate a peace but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov addressed that bluntly: Israel doesn’t appear interested in peace — from anyone.
