Putin's special envoy has responded to President Trump's threat to launch a large-scale attack on Iran, warning that such a move would cause the highest oil prices in human history and an unavoidable energy crisis, according to a report from the Arab Desk.
Putin's special envoy has warned that a US military attack on Iran would trigger the highest oil prices in human history, along with an unavoidable energy crisis. The statement, reported by the Arab Desk, comes in response to President Trump's threat of a large-scale attack on the Islamic Republic.
The warning adds a Russian voice to the escalating US-Iran confrontation, which has already caused significant volatility in global oil markets. As The Zioneer has reported, oil prices surged above $93 per barrel earlier this month after Trump threatened Iran, and have since fluctuated sharply amid diplomatic and military signals.
The Russian envoy's remarks underscore Moscow's economic stake in the crisis. Russia is a major oil producer and would benefit from higher prices, but the warning of a crisis suggests it also sees risks in a full-scale conflict. The statement did not elaborate on any Russian diplomatic or military moves.
