US EditionPodcast: What Happens Next as US and Israel Attack Iran?
Russia calls the US and Israel strikes on Iran dangerously irresponsible, warning of escalating regional conflict and global economic impacts, including rising energy prices.
- On Feb. 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran targeting its leadership, which President Donald Trump said would end a U.S. security threat and allow Iranians to topple their rulers.
- Moscow publicly criticised the strikes as dangerously irresponsible and plunging the Middle East into an abyss, while Dmitry Medvedev called the talks with Iran 'just a cover' and questioned Washington's staying power.
- Speaking from Washington, Ali Vaez said there is no US plan and no clear strategy on what happens next, adding that regime collapse is unlikely due to Iran’s unarmed, fragmented population.
- Tehran responded by launching missiles at Israel and U.S. interests in neighbouring Gulf states, producing immediate military exchanges that plunged the Middle East into a new conflict.
- Vaez warned of broad economic fallout, including energy-price shocks as `Energy markets are certainly going to be shocked when the markets open on Monday,` and rising costs will squeeze American purchasing power in an election year.
