A top ally of Vladimir Putin has launched a scathing attack against Donald Trump after issuing yet another chilling World War 3 warning. Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president, cautioned that the world is nearing a major confrontation, claiming that US actions could trigger WW3 and that a "global catastrophe" may be imminent.

He said: "Has the Third World War already begun, or is the world still not entering it, are we balancing? Formally, no, but if Trump continues his insane course of criminal regime change, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could trigger it. Any event. This is a war by the US and its allies to maintain global dominance. The pigs don't want to give up their trough.

"Trump made a grave mistake. With his decision, he put all Americans under potential attack, even though the Iranian regime is not well-liked in neighboring Arab countries. The main thing is that the late Ayatollah was the spiritual father of nearly 300 million Shiites. And now he's also a martyr. You can fill in the rest yourself. And now there's no doubt that Iran will redouble its efforts to develop nuclear weapons."

In the aftermath of the operation, Israel has continued launching additional attacks on Tehran, deepening fears of a broader and more volatile confrontation across the Middle East.
