Russia has issued a stark warning over the future of Israel as the West Asia conflict continues to escalate, with a senior Russian military commander claiming that Israel could ultimately cease to exist as a state if the war continues to intensify.

Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov, deputy chief of Russia's Main Military-Political Directorate, reportedly made the remarks while speaking to Russian state-owned news agency TASS. He accused Israel of attempting to draw the United States and wider NATO deeper into the conflict and warned that Israel could be overestimating its strength.

The comments come amid growing reports of closer military cooperation between Russia and Iran as Tehran faces confrontation with the United States and Israel.

Russia Issues Stark Warning Over Israel's Future Amid Regional War

The conflict between the United States and Iran has entered its fifth consecutive day of military escalation, with fresh U.S. strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure linked to threats against shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media reported explosions across multiple cities, while Tehran retaliated by launching attacks on U.S. military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait, further raising fears of a wider regional conflict. President Donald Trump has vowed to continue military operations unless Iran returns to negotiations, while Vice President JD Vance has publicly argued that diplomacy—not prolonged military intervention or ground troops—offers the only sustainable path to ending the crisis. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have questioned the future of previous diplomatic understandings, signaling that the prospects for renewed negotiations remain uncertain.
