The chairman of the Russian Communist Party, Gennady Zyuganov, told the State Duma that the current war is part of a broader US strategy and will also threaten Russia in the future. “As for the struggle for survival, Iran is fighting now. We will be next. Look at Trump’s strategy: China in the first place, us in the second place, Iran in the third place,” Zyuganov said. In his speech, Zyuganov also described US policy as “aggressive and violent” and condemned its attacks in the Persian Gulf. According to the deputy, the hostilities have caused problems with water and food supplies due to damage to water desalination plants and infrastructure.
