An Israeli or U.S. attack on Iran will have catastrophic consequences, Russian Permanent Representative to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov warned.

“This would have catastrophic consequences not only for the region but globally,” he said on Monday, December 12.

“We have seen many attempts to solve political problems by force in recent years, but now the time has come to learn these lessons,” Chizhov said, Itar-Tass reported.
