The head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs and the leader of the LDPR, Leonid Slutsky, spoke about the alarming situation in the Middle East.
On his Telegram channel, he noted that US support for Israel's actions could lead to a nuclear catastrophe.
Slutsky stressed that the current escalation of the conflict goes beyond possible limits.
He believes that Washington's continued support for Tel Aviv will only worsen the situation and create a nuclear contender.
He also recalled the predictions of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who spoke about the possibility of the start of World War III due to the conflict between Iran and Israel.
Slutsky noted that these predictions are becoming increasingly relevant.
Israel has said it is preparing a crushing response to Iran's October 1 attack, with Tel Aviv hoping to secure support from its allies.
According to Slutsky, Zhirinovsky's predictions about the nuclear threat are becoming increasingly realistic against the backdrop of the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
