Russia warns US against bombing Iran

Russia on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, warned that strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure would have “catastrophic” consequences.

This warning comes after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran unless it came to an agreement with Washington over its nuclear program.

Speaking in an interview with a Russian journal, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said,

“Threats are indeed being heard, ultimatums are also being heard,”

“We consider such methods inappropriate, we condemn them, we consider them a way for (the U.S.) to impose its own will on the Iranian side.”

Russia has for the most part refrained from sharp criticism of Trump.

Analysts suspect that the reason is not far from the fact that President Vladimir Putin has moved quickly to repair relations with the US.

The move is said to be in line with rebuilding both countries’ relationship viewed with concern by Ukraine and its European allies.

The Kremlin has offered to mediate between the Trump administration and Iran.

It reportedly signed a strategic partnership treaty with them in January.

Trump, had threatened bombing Tehran, in his first remarks since Iran rejected direct negotiations with Washington.

He also told NBC News over the weekend that Tehran could face secondary tariffs if it did not reach an agreement over its nuclear program.

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” he said. “It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”

During his first term, Trump withdrew the U.S. from a 2015 deal between Iran and world powers that placed strict limits on Tehran’s disputed nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

Iran says it needs nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and denies it is seeking to build an atomic bomb.

Ryabkov said Trump’s recent comments only served to “complicate the situation” in regards to Iran.

“The consequences of this, especially if the strikes are on nuclear infrastructure, could be catastrophic for the entire region,” Ryabkov said.

“While there is still time and the ‘train has not left’, we need to redouble our efforts to try to reach an agreement on a reasonable basis.

“Russia is ready to offer its good services to Washington, Tehran and everyone who is interested in this,” he said.
