JAKARTA - The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council said that World War III would break out if US President Donald Trump "continued his crazy act to criminally change the political regime.
Speaking in an interview with Russia's state news agency TASS on Monday, Dmitry Medvedev described Washington's actions as "a war by the US and its allies to maintain global dominance."
"If Trump continues his crazy actions to criminally change the political regime, it will definitely start. And any event can be the trigger. Any event," Medvedev warned, launching Anadolu (3/3).
According to Medvedev's assessment, the vulnerability of US and Israeli officials "has significantly increased" since Iran declared a holy war.
"The fact that Iran has not responded too seriously means they don't have much of a chance. But they know how to wait; they are an ancient civilization," he explained.
Medvedev, who served as Russian president from 2008 to 2012, stressed that "President Trump has made a big mistake."
"With his decision, he places all American citizens under potential threat, even despite the fact that the Iranian regime is not liked in neighboring Arab countries," Medvedev explained.
"More importantly, the late Ayatollah (Ali Khamenei) is the spiritual father of almost 300 million Shiites. And now he is also a martyr. You can imagine the rest. And now there is no doubt that Iran will pursue the manufacture of nuclear weapons with a multiple energy," he said.
When asked if Iran had the strength to face this confrontation, Medvedev replied: "They will be able to handle it, but the price of its resurgence will be high. It requires a high level of consolidation of society. And America has provided that consolidation."
Further, Medvedev described the reaction of European countries to the actions of the US and Israel as "flattery and humiliation."
"The European followers, with lust and joy, wipe their faces after receiving a dose of the American-Israeli 'yellow haze' directly in their eyes," he said.
