Russia finds zero evidence Iran nuclear weapons, warns arms race.
Russia has dismissed claims of a clandestine Iranian nuclear weapons programme, with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov asserting that Moscow possesses "zero evidence" of such activity. Speaking in the capital, Lavrov argued that the primary justification for the current US-Israeli offensive lacks factual basis. He warned that the "unprovoked" escalation risks triggering a wider atomic arms race across the Gulf. As Western strikes intensify, the Kremlin remains steadfast that the intervention undermines global stability without addressing any verified threat.
