Donald Trump has been warned by the Kremlin that he has opened "Pandora's box" after the United States launched a "bunker buster" raid on Iran's nuclear sites. The US President said the attack in the early hours of Sunday had "taken the bomb right out of [Iran's] hands".
Russia's United Nations ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, delivered a warning at an emergency meeting of the Security Council. He said "the US has opened a Pandora's box", adding: "No one knows what new catastrophes and suffering it will bring."
Mr Nebenzia said Russia offered its mediation to the US to find a peaceful and mutually agreeable solution to Iran's nuclear program, but the United States, especially its leaders, were "clearly not interested in diplomacy".
He said: "Unless we stop the escalation, the Middle East will find itself on the verge of a large scale conflict with unpredictable consequences for the entire international security system, plus the entire world might end up on the verge of a nuclear disaster."
