Russia’s surprising role in the Israel-Iran conflict that you might not know about
RT (Russia Today)Saturday, June 28, 2025 at 5:25:00 PM
While the world watches Israel and Iran trade blows, Russia has been quietly pulling strings behind the scenes—not as a blatant ally to either side, but as a diplomatic player with its own agenda. Moscow’s nuanced approach shows how great powers can exert influence without openly picking sides, leveraging relationships with both Tehran and Tel Aviv to position itself as a potential mediator (or opportunist, depending on who you ask).
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about Middle East tensions—it’s a reminder that global conflicts rarely play out in simple "good vs. evil" terms. Russia’s maneuvering highlights how secondary powers can shape events even when they’re not center stage. For readers, it’s a peek into the messy, realpolitik side of international relations where everyone’s got a game, even if they’re not shouting about it.
