“The knot is tightening” in the region, with the US being the main culprit behind the crisis, the former Russian president has said
Peace in the Middle East will only be achieved through a major conflict involving regional power brokers, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has suggested.
Writing on his Telegram channel on Thursday, Medvedev, who now serves as Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, weighed in on the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, as well as their partners and allies in the region and beyond.
“The knot is tightening in the Middle East. Sorry for the innocent lives lost. They are but hostages of a disgusting state: the USA,” Medvedev stated, adding “it’s clear to everyone that a full-scale war is the only way to a shaky peace in the region.”
