00:00Russia just gave the United States a warning, and it couldn't be clearer.
00:04Do not strike Iran.
00:06According to Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov,
00:10any U.S. military action against Iran would radically destabilize the Middle East
00:15and potentially ignite a global disaster.
00:19That's not diplomatic theater.
00:20It's a calculated threat, delivered at a moment when the region is already on the edge.
00:26Russia isn't just commenting from the sidelines.
00:28It's strategically aligned with Iran, after signing a comprehensive partnership agreement in January.
00:34It also maintains ties with Israel, but those have soured dramatically over the war in Ukraine.
00:41Now, as Israel strikes deep into Iranian nuclear sites,
00:45Moscow is warning the world that the fallout, political, military, and nuclear could be seconds away.
00:52Here's what Russian officials are saying.
00:54A U.S. strike would radically destabilize the entire situation.
01:02The Iran-Israel conflict is now critical.
01:06Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
01:09Israeli strikes on nuclear infrastructure have brought the world millimeters from catastrophe.
01:15Read that again.
01:17Millimeters from catastrophe.
01:19That's not a metaphor.
01:20That's a direct statement from a nuclear superpower.
01:23Why does this matter?
01:24Because behind the scenes, Russia and Iran are military partners, with joint drills, arms agreements, and drone exchanges,
01:32especially since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
01:35If the U.S. intervenes on Israel's behalf, it could put American forces in direct confrontation with a Russian-backed ally.
01:42It's not just about Iran anymore.
01:44It's about deterrence, power projection, and the terrifying possibility of miscalculation between nuclear powers.
01:52So far, Washington has held back.
01:54But with Israeli strikes intensifying and Iran vowing retaliation, the pressure on the U.S. to step in is mounting.
02:01And Russia?
02:02It's watching.
02:03It's warning.
02:04And it's saying, if you act, the global balance may break.
02:08So what would you do?
02:10Should the U.S. strike Iran and risk Russian escalation?
02:12Or back off and risk Israel standing alone?
02:16Drop your take in the comments.
