Moscow, March 24 (Xinhua) — Dramatic events in Latin America and the Middle East are a direct result of the West's attempts to maintain the remnants of its dominance. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this on Tuesday at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the A. M. Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund.
According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, these events “directly stem from attempts by Western minority states to preserve the remnants of their dominance in the international arena by using brute force, regardless of any previously signed and ratified obligations under international law.”
S. Lavrov called the actions of the United States and Israel against Iran "harsh military aggression" that threatens to destabilize world trade and global energy security.
"Since late February, the US and Israel have been waging harsh military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The situation threatens to destabilize not only the Persian Gulf region, which has already happened, and not only the entire Middle East, which is already underway, but also global trade, global energy security, and international transport and business communications," the minister stated.
The head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that a number of international relations experts have already begun to classify the ongoing conflicts around the world as World War III. "The rapid expansion of the conflict space, involving ever new countries and entire regions, which has happened over the past year, is, of course, a cause for serious concern," Lavrov noted.
