Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "any intervention by the United States in the conflict between Iran and Israel would represent a "terrible spiral of escalation," the Russian Interfax agency reported, according to Express.

Peskov's comments come after Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier stressed that all sides should seek ways to end the fighting.

Recall that Russia is critical of Western military interventions in the Middle East and has positioned itself as a potential mediator in regional conflicts.

Meanwhile, today's Kremlin warning comes at a time when tensions between Iran and Israel have increased significantly, and the possibility of direct US involvement in the conflict is very likely.
