Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told representatives of Russian NGOs yesterday that Western countries have declared war against Russia, using Ukraine as the “arrowhead.” He also warned that, if the current war against Iran is protracted – “and it appears to be far from over,” he noted – this “will have the most negative consequences for the entire international community, for the economic situation of most of humanity, and for global security.”
Lavrov warned that if the Iran conflict drags on, it could have dire consequences for the whole globe, economically and security-wise. “To say that the unprovoked aggression of the Americans and Israelis against Iran has seriously destabilized the situation in the Middle East would be an incomplete assessment. Because the situation is currently destabilizing throughout the world, everyone is assessing the prospects for their economic development, energy supply sources, and so on,” the minister said.
