Putin warns Middle East nearing full-scale war

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed grave concern on Thursday, stating that the Middle East is teetering on the edge of a full-scale war, with escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.

Speaking at a BRICS+ meeting in Kazan, alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping, Putin highlighted the widening conflict. “What started a year ago in Gaza has now spread to Lebanon,” he said.

“The situation is deteriorating, with other countries in the region being drawn in, and the confrontation between Israel and Iran is intensifying, creating a chain reaction that threatens to engulf the entire region in war.”
