ST PETERSBURG, June 18 (Reuters) - Russia is telling the United States not to strike Iran because it would radically destabilise the Middle East, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday, and Moscow said Israeli strikes risked triggering a nuclear catastrophe. Russia signed a strategic partnership with Iran in January and also has a relationship with Israel, although it has been strained by Moscow's war in Ukraine. A Russian offer to mediate in the Israel-Iran conflict has not been taken up.

Rarebird, Trump is in a big dilemma and it is not hard to figure why. He would like to go on the attack against Iran, but fears retaliation against US bases in the region. I think Trump fears more than that. The U.S. military can handle any direct retaliation on bases. Trump ran on the "no new wars" pledge. Much of his base still believes in it. Trump talks tough but in reality is very averse to long-term military action. Anything that drags him into an Iraq-like quagmire is something he would want to avoid, and for good reason. One thing is for sure, though. There won't be any "deals" made by Mr. aRt oF tHe dEaL, given that the last one fell apart. Tenchusatsu
