Commenting on the likelihood that the conflict in Gaza will spread beyond the region’s borders, Lavrov then stressed that he sees “no signs that Iran or other countries want to start a large-scale war in the region.” The problem is whether this moderation will be perceived as weakness, a green light to do whatever you want in Gaza. That would be a big mistake.” There is still bad blood between Washington and Moscow, and any geopolitical pretext is good to take action against each other.
