The Russian Security Council publicly stated that the current ceasefire is merely a façade for a forthcoming United States ground invasion of Iran. The claim was made in a televised briefing and was accompanied by a photo of council members. No official response from the United States or Iran has been issued, and no concrete evidence of invasion plans has been presented. Analysts note the statement reflects heightened tensions between Moscow, Washington, and Tehran.
