The Kremlin said the conflict involving Iran is intensifying and spreading, warning that the entire Middle East is 'on fire' following United States and Israeli attacks on the country. Officials described the situation as increasingly dangerous, with rising tensions across the region.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the geography of the conflict has expanded and is now producing serious consequences beyond the immediate area. He warned that the escalation is having very negative effects on the global economy.

His remarks came after the United States president threatened to target Iranian infrastructure if a key maritime route is not reopened. Moscow declined to comment directly on the statement but emphasized that the current trajectory of the conflict poses significant risks both regionally and globally.
