Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAny intervention by the United States in the Iran-Israel conflict would mark a “terrible spiral of escalation,” Interfax news agency quotes Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying.
Israel says its sweeping assault on Iran’s top military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites, and ballistic missile program is necessary to prevent the Islamic Republic from realizing its avowed plan to destroy the Jewish state.
Iran has retaliated by launching over 400 missiles and around 1,000 drones at Israel. So far, 24 people have been killed in Israel and more than 500 wounded.
