Moscow, March 27 /Xinhua/ — US actions in Iran were a grave strategic mistake, and the new US administration will pay for it. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated this in an interview with RIA Novosti published on Friday.
"I think this is the price of a grave mistake, a strategic error by the White House. Moreover, it will most likely be the new US administration that pays for this mistake—quite possibly a Democratic one, not a Republican one," said D. Medvedev.
The Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council noted that a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the Middle East is impossible in the near future.
"We all hope for a peaceful resolution to any conflict. I think that, sad as it may sound, it's impossible in the near future. Because the forces involved are in an extremely antagonistic position: they hate each other," he said.
Dmitry Medvedev also drew attention to the developments in the Middle East peace process over the past 70-80 years. "There's no sign of a peaceful settlement there. It's only getting worse. It's one conflict after another, then Gaza. But even this conflict hasn't brought any peace. Therefore, my prognosis is this: a peaceful resolution to this conflict is not yet in sight," he added.
On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran. Iran is carrying out retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on US military targets in the Middle East.
