Russian Expert Warns 'No Peace, No War' in Middle East Cannot Last After US-Israel War on Iran
A Russian expert on Iranian affairs has warned that the current 'no peace, no war' situation following the 40-day US-Israel war against Iran cannot be stable and another escalation could be far more brutal. Speaking to TASS, Adlan Margoyev said Washington believes time is on its side while Tehran is confident in its endurance, with neither side willing to change positions. The expert warned that Trump's zeal to demonstrate US strength may lead to a war with fewer self-restrictions on targeting civilian infrastructure. The warning came as Russian President Putin met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in St. Petersburg, with Putin pledging Russia's support for Middle East peace.
