Peskov: Another US strike on Iran will seriously destabilize the situation in the region
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] A possible new US strike on Iran could seriously destabilize the situation in the region, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on January 26.
How is this a bad thing?
“This would certainly mean another step that could seriously destabilize the situation in the region,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

He added that Russia continues its efforts to de-escalate tensions. The Russian leader's press secretary noted that Moscow calls on all interested parties to exercise restraint and focus exclusively on peaceful negotiations to resolve the issues that remain.

Mass protests have been ongoing in Iran since December, sparked by the depreciation of the national currency. On January 22, US President Donald Trump stated that he was monitoring the situation in the country and dispatched a "large fleet" to the region. The American leader also called on protesters to seize government buildings and promised Washington's assistance.

Tehran responded by warning that the republic's leadership would regard any attack as an all-out war against the country.

The Iranian Security Council accused the United States and Israel of orchestrating the unrest. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei called on the White House to focus on his own country's affairs. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that Russia strongly condemns subversive foreign interference in Iran's internal affairs.
