‘Chernobyl-like CATASTROPHE’ | Russia THREATENS Israel over ATTACK on Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Plant

Russia has issued a dire warning to Israel following reported strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, calling the attack potentially catastrophic—comparable to Chernobyl. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned any further strikes on Iran’s "peaceful" nuclear sites, citing the risk to Russian scientists stationed at Bushehr. Moscow has also warned the U.S. against military involvement, threatening “unpredictable consequences.” While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the strike, the incident has sparked global alarm and intensified the nuclear crisis in the region. #RussiaWarning #BushehrStrike #IsraelIranConflict #ChernobylThreat #NuclearCrisis #MiddleEastTensions #Zakharova #PutinOnIsrael #RussianScientists #GulfRegionRisk #IsraelAirstrike #PeaceOnEdge #BreakingNews #RussiaVsIsrael #IranNuclearSite #GlobalSecurityThreat #UnpredictableConsequences #TimeForPeace #USRussiaTensions #IAEAWarnings #BushehrPlant #NuclearPowerCrisis Also Read Iran Fires 'Sejjil-2' Long-Range Ballistic Missile At Israel Amid Escalating Conflict.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran as a reckless provocation that violates international law and risks igniting a global catastrophe. Calling it a “strategy of bloodshed,” Erdoğan warned Netanyahu’s government is sabotaging diplomatic efforts over Iran’s nuclear program to sustain regional chaos. Turkey’s foreign ministry echoed the alarm, demanding urgent global action to prevent further escalation. As Ankara joins the growing chorus of condemnation, fears rise over a widening West Asia conflict and potential global fallout. #Erdogan #IsraelIranConflict #TurkeyCondemnsIsrael #InternationalLaw #MiddleEastTensions #WestAsiaCrisis #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #TehranStrikes #NuclearCrisis #TurkeyStatement #ErdoğanWarning #NetanyahuGovt #RegionalStability #MiddleEastDiplomacy #StrategicProvocation #StopTheWar #IsraelAirstrikes #IranNuclearTalks #PeaceUnderThreat #TurkeyVsIsrael #WarWarning #MiddleEastWar #WestAsiaEscalation #UNAlert #GlobalCondemnation #AnkaraResponse #MilitaryEscalation #IsraelIranTensions #MiddleEastFlashpoint #RecklessAttack ~HT.410~GR.124~
