Russia ominously suggested that the US opened a “Pandora’s box” by bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran — warning that “the entire world might end up on the verge of a nuclear disaster.”
“Through their actions, the U.S. has opened a Pandora’s box,” Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said at an emergency meeting on Sunday.
“No one knows what new catastrophes and suffering it will bring,” Nebenzia said as Russia offered to mediate a solution to the conflict.
“Unless we stop the escalation,” Nebenzia warned, “the Middle East will find itself on the verge of a large-scale conflict with unpredictable consequences for the entire international security system, plus the entire world might end up on the verge of a nuclear disaster.”
President Trump announced Saturday the military had carried out historic airstrikes against Iran days after Israel initiated extensive attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and military — marking the first-ever US strike on Iranian territory.
The US attacked Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan facilities with 30 Tomahawk missiles launched by US submarines.
