After Trump’s ‘Help Is On Its Way’ Message To Iran Protesters, Russia Warns Of ‘Disastrous Consequences'

Russia has strongly warned the United States against making new military moves toward Iran, calling such threats "completely unacceptable." In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry criticized Washington for what it described as "foreign interference" in Iran's domestic affairs.

Moscow said that any attempt to use Iran's internal unrest as an excuse for further aggression could lead to "disastrous consequences" for both the Middle East and global security. The ministry reminded Washington of the events in June 2025, when the US carried out strikes on Iranian targets, warning that repeating such actions would make the regional situation far worse.

"Those who try to take advantage of the unrest in Iran to justify new aggression must realize how dangerous this could be," the Russian statement read.

Trump Urges Iranian Protesters to "Keep Fighting"

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump publicly supported the ongoing protests in Iran, encouraging demonstrators to keep up their resistance. On Truth Social, he wrote,
"Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price... HELP IS ON ITS WAY."

Trump's statement came after reports claimed that nearly 2,000 people have been killed during weeks of government crackdowns in Iran. The US president also said he had cancelled all meetings with Iranian officials until the violence stopped.

In an earlier remark, Trump said the US military was considering "very strong options" regarding Iran - a statement that drew an angry reaction from Tehran.

US Tariff Threat Sparks Global Response

Adding more tension, Trump announced a new 25% tariff on countries that continue doing business with Iran. He said that any nation trading with Tehran would face this tax on all transactions with the United States.

So far, Iran has not issued an official response, but China has criticized the move and warned that it would take retaliatory steps. The situation has added to already strained international relations, with Russia, China, and Iran accusing the US of trying to destabilize the region.
