Russia Calls US Threats Against Iran ‘Categorically Unacceptable,’ Warns of ‘Disastrous Consequences’

Russia condemned US threats of military strikes and tariff blackmail against Iran, warning of disastrous consequences and accusing Western forces of exploiting Iranian protests.

  • On Tuesday, Russia's Foreign Ministry rejected threats of US military strikes and tariff increases against Iran, with Maria Zakharova delivering the denunciation at a Moscow press conference.
  • Moscow says external meddling has exploited `color revolutions` tactics by `hostile external forces` and prolonged Western sanctions worsened Iran's social and economic hardships.
  • Moscow warned of `disastrous consequences` from any US military action and Sergei Shoigu condemned external interference during a Monday call with Ali Larijani, while dialogue was canceled by US President Donald Trump as of Tuesday.
  • A 25% tariff warning from the US head of state prompted Russia to call it pressure on Iran's partners, signaling intent to shield Iran and deepen Moscow–Tehran ties.
  • The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported at least 2,571 deaths and over 18,100 detentions, and the internet blackout limits verification while Maria Zakharova urged Russian nationals in Iran to avoid crowds.
