US Plans Largest Bombing of Iran Since Conflict Began

Russian outlets frame the conflict as a joint US‑Israel war of aggression against Iran, driven by Trump’s decisions and backed by some European allies. They stress Trump’s claims that Iran bombed its own school in Minab and was planning attacks on the US, presenting these as unproven justifications for heavy bombing and the killing of Iran’s leader. They expect Moscow to criticize Washington in international forums and warn that US talk of sending troops and changing Iran’s borders threatens wider regional war.
