Russian General Apti Alaudinov has raised concerns by stating that World War III "has already begun" following Israel’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
In a message posted on Telegram, Alaudinov urged President Vladimir Putin to mobilize up to one million troops, claiming that the conflict has spread beyond regional borders.
His remarks came after Israeli airstrikes on June 13, 2025, targeted Iran’s nuclear and military sites, which provoked a swift retaliation from Tehran.
Iran launched missile attacks on Israeli cities, resulting in civilian casualties and escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Alaudinov's statement underscores Russia's growing anxiety over the conflict potentially escalating into a broader war.
While the Russian government has not officially backed his call for troop mobilization, his comments reflect the gravity of the situation.
Diplomatic efforts have been disrupted, with planned U.S.-Iran nuclear discussions canceled due to the attacks.
World leaders are now urging restraint and calling for immediate talks to avoid further escalation.
The intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, along with the involvement of major powers like Russia, highlights the volatile security situation in the region.
The global community watches closely, concerned about the risk of a full-scale global conflict if tensions continue to rise.
