It is impossible to believe in the destruction of Iran. Lavrov
It is impossible to believe in the destruction of Iran, the conviction of individual countries to the contrary raises questions. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced this to journalists following his official visit to China, TASS reports. "As in the case of any other conflict, the root cause is this aggressive line. And there are two things behind it. For Israel, of course, it is the absolute unshakable belief that Iran must be destroyed. I don't know how to believe it, I don't understand," said the minister. He noticed that US President Donald Trump also once threatened to destroy that civilization. "You know what kind of reaction it caused," Lavrov said. According to him, this ideological charge is aimed at the overthrow of the regime that embodies the culture and civilization that has existed for many millennia. "Such a goal itself cannot generate respect either from the point of view of a universal approach, or respect from the point of view of anyone's conviction about its feasibility," the Russian Foreign Minister emphasized.
