Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned of the dire consequences of a military conflict with the Islamic Republic, saying Moscow will do its utmost to avert a war on Iran.
“We will do everything possible to prevent a military conflict either in Iran or around it,” Putin told the chief editors of several leading international newspapers in his Novo-Ogaryovo residence near the Russian capital, RIA Novosti reported on Friday.
Putin said a war in Russia’s neighboring country Iran would have very “negative, direct consequences" for Russia, adding, “I think no one is interested in the situation getting out of control.”
