Russia’s chief of staff has not ruled out the use of military force against Iran.

“Will the events lead to a choice of force?” he said speaking to journalists on Thursday, according to RIA-Novosti news agency. “I do not rule this out but a decision by force is not the best.”

On Tuesday, Russian political expert Mikhail Delyagin said the United States would launch a missile attack against Iran this summer already. “Lately the demand of U.S. military actions against Iran has become really obvious,” he said.

Last week, the senior Russian parliamentary official and leader of the ultranationalist Liberal Democratic Vladimir Zhirinovsky said a U.S. attack against Iran was “inevitable.” “Any country claiming a leading position in the world will need to wage wars. Otherwise it will simply not be able to retain its leading position. The date for the strike is already known — it is the election day in Israel (March 28). It is also known how much that war will cost,” Zhirinovsky said.

So apparantly the Russians already know the date lol
