At a meeting of news agencies on the sidelines of the ongoing St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova spoke of the risk of nuclear disaster in the Israel-Iran conflict, which is being completely ignored by most Western sources.
In commenting on Israel’s so-called precision strikes targeting or in the vicinity of nuclear facilities in Iran, Zakharova said, “It’s remarkable how little attention Western media are paying to the nuclear risks involved. No alarm bells are being rung, no calls for restraint—as if this is just another routine escalation that we’ve seen many times before.”
She dismissed the idea that the “precision” missiles could never go off course and quipped, “Radiation doesn’t check passports. It doesn’t care about ethnicity, borders, or permissions. It seeps into water, air, and soil—and it can remain there for decades, even centuries, destroying lives.”
