*Washington would make a serious mistake by deciding to attack Iran, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told RT. Direct involvement by the US in the ongoing conflict between the Islamic Republic and Israel will only worsen the situation in the region, he warned.*
Tensions escalated last week after Israel launched a large-scale bombing campaign against Iran, claiming that Tehran was close to producing a nuclear bomb. Iran dismissed the accusations and retaliated with waves of drone and missile strikes. The two nations have continued exchanging strikes ever since.
*US President Donald Trump has made direct threats against Tehran in recent days, demanding its complete surrender and abandonment of its nuclear program. The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that an attack plan on Iran had already been secretly approved <www.rt.com/news/619879-trump-approved-iran-attack/>, but the president said the publication “has no idea <truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114710171329291791>.” The White House added that Trump would make a final decision “within the next two weeks.”*

*“Moscow believes it is a wrong move,”* Peskov said when asked about Russia’s response to the hypothetical action. *“This is a step that is bound to lead to further escalation, a major escalation, and would only complicate the situation in the region.”*
*“Such conflicts are capable of setting the entire region on fire,”** Peskov warned. He added that Russia remains ready and willing to assist in resolving the conflict.*
When asked about the possibility of regime change in Iran at the hands of the US or Israel, Peskov echoed President Vladimir Putin’s view that such discussions are unacceptable. *“We believe that it is unacceptable to have such conversations, and even more so to take such actions,”* he said.

The Russian president reportedly has a *“complete picture”* of the situation and the potential to act as a mediator, according to Peskov. He noted that Putin has been in contact with both Israel and Iran, and was one of the few world leaders to speak with both countries’ leaders after hostilities began.
*However, Peskov admitted there is currently “little ground” for talks as both Israel and Iran remain determined to continue the fighting.*
*Putin himself told journalists at a late-night Q&A on Wednesday that Moscow has proposed several compromise frameworks to all parties – including the US, Israel, and Iran. He also suggested that a potential settlement could include mutual security guarantees protecting both Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology and Israel’s right to security.*
