MOSCOW, March 4. /TASS/. The so-called "Iranian threat" was merely a pretext for implementing a long-cherished plan to violently overthrow the constitutional order in Iran. The US and Israel are plunging the Middle East ever deeper into an abyss of chaos, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a news briefing.
Moscow rejects the attempts by London and Paris to dispute the data provided by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) revealing their plans to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine, she added.
TASS has compiled Zakharova's key statements.
An unprecedented escalation and rising tensions are unfolding in the Middle East: "We see — and I believe everyone now understands — that an unprecedented escalation and tension are unfolding in the region."
The US and Israel, through their "irresponsible and reckless actions," are perpetrating lawlessness, plunging the Middle East ever deeper into an abyss of chaos.
