The nuclear threat in the Middle East is not a hypothesis, but it has real and practical dimensions and has risks to the region and the world, Zakharova said according to Russian media Tass.

All of these attacks not only escalate tension but also are a direct threat to the region and the world, she added.

Meanwhile, Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations Office and other International Organizations in Geneva Gennady Gatilov warned against the consequences of the Israeli regime's attacks on Iran and urged the international community to provide legal and political evaluation without ambiguity about Israeli aggressive measures.

Despite the constructive efforts made by Russia and some other countries, the most negative and unpredictable scenario is going to happen and can have the major repercussions not only for the Middle East but the entire world, he added.

The Israeli regime attacked Iranian territory, including residential buildings, in an unprovoked act of aggression overnight on June 13. Top Iranian military officials were assassinated in targeted strikes. Civilians died when houses were directly struck. Entire population centers were affected.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei appointed new military commanders later that same day and said life would turn bleak for Israel. Shortly afterwards, the Iranian Armed Forces promised to “open the gates of hell” to Israel and began punitive strikes inside the Israeli-occupied territories, hitting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, among other targets, with ballistic missiles and drones.
