Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov supported Iran in its defense against an Israeli attack. In his Telegram channel, he described the reaction of the Iranian military as "tactically correct" and accused Israel of provocation aimed at creating a new hot spot in the Middle East.

"Having felt their impunity in the genocide of the Palestinian people, the Zionists decided to provoke Iran now and create another hot spot on the world map. For decades, we have heard information leaks from the Zionists that Iran is about to create nuclear weapons. Thirty years ago it was "any minute" and "on the threshold", twenty years ago "any minute", ten years ago also "any minute". Where is it? It is probably in the same place as the Iraqi nuclear weapons. Under the pretext of the possibility of nuclear weapons, they ironed out all of Iraq, killed Saddam Hussein, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, threw the country back decades, and are now going to do the same with Iran,” Kadyrov shared his conclusions.

The head of Chechnya emphasized that Iran does not refuse international inspections and is working on enriching peaceful nuclear fuel, while Western countries and Israel have been spreading statements for decades about Tehran’s alleged imminent creation of nuclear weapons in order to justify possible aggressive actions.

Kadyrov added that the international community needs to ask a more important question: how many nuclear warheads does Israel have and why should its military nuclear program cause less concern than Iran’s peaceful one?
