Russia sends veiled threat to Israel, US over Iranian weapons depot blast
Russia appeared to issue a veiled threat against Israel and the United States on Monday when it condemned an attack on an Iranian weapons depot, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
Pentagon press secretary Brig.-Gen. Patrick Ryder has said no US military forces were involved in the explosion at Isfahan over the weekend. Israel, as is its policy in such attacks, has neither denied nor confirmed its involvement.
