BREAKING: Kremlin Warns US Against “Regime Change” as Russian Warships Hold the Line in the Strait of Hormuz

KREMLIN warns US “No Regime Change as We monitor an unprecedented escalation around IRAN” Russian Warships Hold Position in Strait of Hormuz with IRAN.

Peskov noted the escalation is “singular” or historic in scale but expressed hope for negotiations. This aligns with Moscow’s broader stance of supporting Iran while avoiding direct entanglement. As Iran’s close partner, Russia reaffirmed ongoing ties (including the drills) but positioned itself as favoring diplomacy.

Russia opposes external efforts at regime change in Iran, viewing them as violations of sovereignty and destabilizing. For instance, Russian officials have criticized US approaches that could lead to overthrowing the Iranian government, framing such actions as incitement or unlawful interference.

Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, have explicitly condemned Western “plots” for regime change in Iran.
