US-Israeli aggression against Iran has set entire region ‘on fire’: Kremlin 

The Kremlin has warned that the ongoing US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran has engulfed the entire Persian Gulf and West Asia, setting the region “on fire” with dangerous and far-reaching consequences.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the aggression is rapidly escalating both in geography and economic impact.

“In fact, the entire region is on fire. These are all very dangerous and negative consequences of the aggression that was unleashed against Iran,” Peskov said.

“The geography of this conflict has expanded, and now we are all aware of the consequences that we have, including very, very negative consequences for the global economy.”

Peskov further noted: “We note that the level of tension in the region is growing and continues to grow.”

The remarks come as US President Donald Trump recently threatened on social media to strike Iranian civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, as early as Tuesday.

International legal experts have strongly warned that targeting civilian infrastructure such as power plants and bridges constitutes a clear war crime under international humanitarian law.

Iran has firmly vowed to respond with even stronger retaliatory strikes against US and Israeli interests if its power plants are attacked.

Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi, Commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), issued a powerful warning on Monday.

He declared that a “domino of fire” has begun across the region, and only Iran can stop it.

“Now a domino of fire has begun that no one other than Iran can stop it. Haifa, Fujairah, Shuaiba, etc.,” General Mousavi stated.

The current round of brutal aerial aggression against Iran began on February 28, eight months after the initial unprovoked US-Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic.

This criminal offensive resulted in the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with hundreds of innocent Iranian civilians — including women and children — and several senior military commanders.

In response, the Iranian armed forces have launched decisive and devastating retaliatory attacks against US and Israeli targets in the occupied territories and across West Asia.

With the war on its sixth week, Iran continues to maintain the upper hand on the battlefield. The aggressors, facing heavy human and material losses, are desperately seeking an off-ramp from the conflict they themselves ignited.
