Russia backs Iran’s right to enrich uranium, dares Trump to stop it as US mulls Iran war 3.0?

Published on May 19, 2026 12:24 pm IST

Fresh tensions erupted after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov publicly backed Iran’s right to enrich uranium and warned the U.S. against “neo-colonial” pressure tactics. Speaking in Moscow, Lavrov said Russia could again play a key role in any future Iran nuclear deal, just as it did during the 2015 agreement. The remarks came as Donald Trump reportedly weighs renewed military action against Tehran after calling Iran’s latest proposal “garbage.” Lavrov also accused Western powers of using sanctions to dominate weaker nations, escalating fears that Moscow is preparing to stand firmly behind Iran in the next phase of confrontation.
