Russian official Dmitry Medvedev warned that actions linked to Donald Trump could escalate tensions into a potential nuclear conflict in the Middle East.

He criticized U.S. policy toward Iran as a major strategic mistake that could trigger wider regional instability.

Medvedev suggested Gulf nations might pursue nuclear weapons for protection, increasing the risk of a broader war.

He blamed the United States and Israel for pushing the region toward what he described as a possible “biggest war” still ahead, the Mirror has reported.

He also cautioned that the situation could spiral into a long-term crisis with severe global consequences.
