Medvedev said about the threat of the Middle East conflict turning into a global one

The confrontation between Israel and Iran could escalate into a global conflict. This was announced on June 21 by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.

"There is only one obvious danger — the transition of the Middle East conflict into a global one, which, by the way, is constantly being talked about by [American leader Donald] himself. Trump. And here the United States, Israel and Iran must diligently pray according to the sacred books of all Abrahamic religions," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

In his opinion, Trump will have to decide the conflict in Israel on his own, since this "country is of special importance to the United States."
