In response to recent tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the West has been misled into supporting Israel, particularly in its attacks on Palestine. Putin made this statement on Sunday, April 14, through his X (formerly Twitter) account. He emphasized that with Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis attacking Israel, global prices of goods are expected to rise, predicting a significant change in oil prices due to Iran’s status as a major oil producer.
Putin affirmed that Russia will exert every effort to prevent a potential global atomic war. Notably, Iran launched approximately 300 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles at Israel last night, sparking global reactions. The Taliban’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has labeled Iran’s actions as “legitimate defensive measures.”
