MOSCOW, April 6. /TASS/. The Russian foreign ministry has warned that the rapidly worsening situation in the Middle East risks spiralling completely out of control.
"The situation that has arisen as a result of Washington and Tel Aviv’s illegal and irresponsible actions is rapidly deteriorating and threatens to finally spiral out of all control," it said in a statement.
According to the ministry, the Iran war is escalating every day "The intensity and destructiveness of attacks are growing. These attacks target not only military facilities, but also civilian infrastructure, often including nuclear sites under the IAEA's safeguards," it stated.
The ministry warned that attacks on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant are fraught with the risk of a radioactive disaster that could be worse than the Chernobyl. "Of particular concern are numerous reckless attacks on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, which have resulted in human casualties. The shadow of a radiological catastrophe more devastating than the Chernobyl disaster looms over the Gulf region and adjacent parts of Eurasia," it said. "The armed confrontation has already claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people, women and children, has brought suffering to civilians. Schools, hospitals, and world heritage sites are being ruined. Diplomatic and consular missions are coming under attacks, which runs counter the foundations of international relations and constitutes a flagrant violation of the provisions of the relevant Vienna conventions," the ministry pointed out.
