Russia warns Trump against bombing Iran and Ayatollah vows to ‘never surrender’ after White House gave them 48 hours to avoid US onslaught

Russia warned the United States against even thinking about supporting Israel‘s attacks on Iran as the burgeoning conflict entered its sixth day.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday that direct U.S. military assistance to Israel could radically destabilise the situation in the Middle East.

Ryabkov said Russia cautions the U.S. against supplying such assistance to Israel – as the ministry warned Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities had pushed the region ‘millimetres away from catastrophe’.

The remarks came as the Ayatollah Khamenei issued a chilling threat to the U.S., warning that ‘any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage’.

‘This nation will not surrender to anyone in the face of imposition,’ he said in his first televised comments since Israel launched its surprise attack on Friday.

The stark warning came as U.S. officials indicated that Iran has 24 to 48 hours to surrender and save itself from American invention as President Trump considers joining Israel’s war. 

White House officials said the next two days will be critical in determining whether Washington and Tehran can find a diplomatic solution to the burgeoning crisis in the Middle East. 

Trump posted on Truth Social yesterday that he knew where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei is hiding but would not launch a strike ‘yet’. He then added ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER’!.
