Eviralnews,, quoted by Novosti news agency, Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, believes that the worsening of the situation in the Middle East region is largely the result of the efforts of the United States to maintain its influence in the region.
Zakharova said today, Wednesday, in an exclusive interview with “Ria Novosti”, commenting on the reports about the deployment of American forces in the Middle East: “The current situation, which is developing in a very sad way, is largely caused by the desire of the United States to maintain its dominance It is in the Middle East.”
According to this diplomat, Washington's efforts to monopolize the mediation role in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, maintain the status quo, and remove key issues from the process of resolving this crisis based on UN decisions, have helped to intensify the potential for the escalation of conflicts. Zakharova added that US representatives have actively promoted hostile approaches to create artificial lines of confrontation and anti-Iranian coalitions in the region.
He warned that the increase in the American military presence in the Middle East could lead to an escalation of tensions, and especially to the consequences of the “Guardian of Prosperity” operation, which was launched by Washington this year and led to the attacks of the United States and the United Kingdom on Yemen, and only exacerbated the situation. pointed out
This diplomat emphasized that the countries of the region can solve their problems and disputes independently and through political-diplomatic means.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Russia actively and continuously supports refraining from actions that lead to the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East and urges all parties to adopt a responsible approach in order to prevent the situation from turning to more violence and dangerous consequences.
Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also pointed out that some of the parties involved in the Middle East conflict are willing to continue the conflict and apparently do not need a ceasefire. He emphasized that the collective punishment of the Israeli population for the October 7 attack by Israel is illegal and of course inhumane.
A few days ago, the Reuters news agency, citing its sources, reported that the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza between Israel and Hamas in Cairo have not reached a conclusion due to the lack of agreement on a number of reconciliation issues.
In addition, the Pentagon previously extended the presence of two groups of aircraft carriers – USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Theodore Roosevelt – in the Middle East region. It is also reported that in August, the United States armed forces deployed a significant amount of military resources to the region as a preemptive measure in case of an unannounced Iranian attack on Israel or any major attack by the Hezbollah movement. Lebanon should be ready to react quickly and defend the Israeli regime.
