Zakharova: US, Israel may drag Caspian region into Iran war
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned on Friday that the United States and Israel's actions could drag the Caspian countries into the Iran war after an attack on Iran's port city of Bandar Anzali.
Tehran - BORNA - "The Caspian Sea has always been perceived by the countries of the region and the international community as a safe space for peace and cooperation. The reckless and irresponsible actions of the aggressors pose the risk of drawing the Caspian states into military conflict," Zakharova said at a press briefing, accusing the US and Israel of seeking further escalation of the conflict, local Russian media said.
Furthermore, the spokeswoman stressed that the targeted Iranian port is largely used for trade between Moscow and Tehran, emphasizing that the attack directly affected Russian interests.
