Middle East skies rumble with war threats, yet Iran firmly rejects new conflicts or military moves. Persian Gulf nation shifts focus to self-development instead. Tehran’s stance finds support from key ally Russia which urges diplomatic solutions to Iran’s nuclear tensions with United States.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stresses resolving Iran’s nuclear issue peacefully. “All sides must show maximum restraint,” Peskov told Russian news agency Tass. “Political, diplomatic paths remain only solution.”

His comments counter recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who warned of bombing Iran if nuclear talks falter. Peskov reiterated Moscow’s belief in dialogue over military action, underscoring Russia’s long-standing Middle East peace policy.
Trump’s rhetoric escalates tensions. He vowed “unprecedented bombing” and extra tariffs within two weeks if Iran rejects nuclear deal talks. Tehran’s top leaders hit back, promising swift, harsh retaliation to any attack.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi doubled down, saying Tehran will never pursue nuclear weapons. “Military action against us is pointless,” he warned, reminding U.S. of 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal’s enduring value—still intact despite America’s exit seven years ago.

Russia stands firm by Iran. Peskov called Tehran vital partner, highlighting deep ties in economy, defense, energy. “Moscow-Tehran relations are multifaceted,” he said. Though Russia seeks better U.S. ties, Iran remains key ally. This bond fuels Kremlin’s push for calm amid Trump’s aggressive posture.
Conflict roots trace back to JCPOA fallout. Signed in 2015, deal lifted some sanctions on Iran for scaling back nuclear work. U.S. withdrawal in 2018 sparked renewed friction. Trump’s latest threats—tariffs, bombs—risk pushing Iran into harder stance, destabilizing region further.
Iran’s foes react too. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, backed by Trump administration, warned Tehran: “We’re enough to handle you.” Iran shot back, dismissing Israel as “U.S. tool” incapable alone. Tehran vows fierce response if attacked, even as it shuns war.

Situation teeters on edge. Russia’s peace bid clashes with U.S. hardline approach, while Iran-Russia alliance holds strong. Failure of diplomacy could ignite wider Middle East clash, analysts warn, especially with global focus already strained by Ukraine war, other crises. For now, Iran banks on development, not destruction—leaving world watching if words turn to weapons.
