Recent large-scale U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have sparked fierce backlash from Russia (yep, the one that continues to invade Ukraine). The country has condemned the attacks as “irresponsible, dangerous, and provocative” and warned they could trigger a worldwide “nuclear catastrophe.” This strong criticism comes after “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a U.S. military campaign on June 22 that hit Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites.
During an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting, Russia’s representative Vassily Nebenzia issued a grim warning, saying the U.S. had effectively “opened Pandora’s box” with its latest actions. This phrase basically means there’s a risk of unpredictable and devastating consequences that could shake global security.
