ZVENIGOROD, July 8. /TASS/. Vladimir Orlov, director of the PIR Center and professor at MGIMO University under the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has criticized the United States and Israel for acting against common sense by launching strikes against Iran. In an interview with TASS, he emphasized that their actions failed to achieve the desired outcomes and undermined regional stability.
He stated, "In the case of Iran, the Israelis and Americans have acted contrary to common sense. Tactically, some might claim success - particularly the Americans - but strategically, these actions harm regional security and the integrity of the nuclear non-proliferation regime." Orlov made his remarks during the PIR Center’s 24th International School on Global Security.
The expert highlighted the central role of nuclear issues in the ongoing conflict. He pointed out that the Americans are attempting to present a misleading narrative, claiming that the nuclear issue has been resolved, which he considers wishful thinking. "This is primarily driven by domestic American considerations - public perception and political expediency. The problem of Iran’s nuclear program has not been solved; it has merely entered a different phase," Orlov explained.
