Russia Just Delivered a Big Message to Iran About What It Should Do in Response to the U.S.

Democrats are furious that President Donald Trump took action against Iran with Operation Epic Fury. Trump stated he was in talks with an Iranian leader and held off on hitting a power plant for five days to see if negotiations progressed. However, Russia has now weighed in, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov calling for a political and diplomatic settlement to defuse the 'catastrophically tense situation.' This diplomatic pressure comes as Ukraine struck Russia's largest Baltic oil port, Primorsk, with drones, causing massive fires and disrupting at least a million barrels of oil per day. The strike on Primorsk adds significant pressure on Russia to see the Iran conflict resolved quickly to avoid further energy market instability.
