Russia’s unthinkable ultimatum to Israel cancels the
“If Israel dares to use a nuclear weapon in the Middle East, Russia will drop a nuclear weapon on Israel”
In a shocking revelation that demonstrates how close the planet is to the brink of World War III, Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor spoke of an unprecedented Russian intervention in the burning conflict of the Middle East, with Moscow delivering a harsh nuclear ultimatum to the Netanyahu regime, effectively canceling the notorious “Samson Option“… Following the start of the war by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28, and Tehran’s devastating retaliation in Dimona on March 20, the situation appears to have spiraled out of control. Israel, seeing its air defenses completely overwhelmed and Iranian missiles falling near the country’s most sensitive nuclear facility, reportedly considered turning to the… “Samson Option,” namely the use of nuclear weapons against Tehran. Retired Colonel Macgregor, asked by British journalist George Galloway whether Israel is going to use its nuclear arsenal, revealed the nightmare ultimatum allegedly sent by Vladimir Putin to Benjamin Netanyahu…

George Galloway: Do you believe Israel might use nuclear weapons?
Col. Douglas: “Putin may have already sent a terrifying ultimatum to Netanyahu: If Israel dares to use a nuclear weapon in the Middle East, Russia will drop a nuclear weapon on Israel. The US has no idea exactly what they just got involved in.”
The strike on Dimona that “froze” Israel and triggered nuclear thoughts
The catalyst for the unprecedented escalation in the region was the Iranian missile that struck the Dimona area in southern Israel, resulting in at least 180 injuries, with the number continuously rising. Israeli radio outlets also reported that a building in the Dimona area collapsed after an Iranian missile strike, intensifying panic and concerns over civilian safety. The attack on Dimona underscores the escalating tension between Iran and Israel and shows that the strategic range of Iranian missiles now threatens critical facilities and populated areas in the Middle East.
Video released by Israeli media shows the moment the large projectile descends from the sky followed by a powerful explosion, causing panic among residents. According to the Israeli public broadcaster Kan, citing the country’s first aid services, the injured were immediately transported to hospitals for treatment. 
The government’s reaction is expected within the coming hours, as Dimona, a major city in the Negev desert, is located near military and industrial infrastructure of critical importance.

Terror in Israel over the nuclear facility
The city of Dimona hosts the country’s primary nuclear reactor in the Negev desert, built in the 1960s with French assistance. The reactor produces plutonium for potential use in nuclear warheads, supporting an estimated Israeli arsenal ranging between 80 and 400 nuclear weapons. Although Israel never confirms the exact number, the Dimona reactor is considered the core of the country’s strategic deterrence.
Araghchi – Lavrov communication – What Iran asked of Moscow
At the same time, Tehran is looking to Moscow to prevent the United States from weaponizing the UN Security Council for its own purposes in the conflict against the Islamic Republic. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated this during a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Telegram channel. The diplomat expressed deep regret over the approach of certain states which, following US policy, use the Security Council as a means of pressure against Tehran. According to him, the resolution of March 11 regarding the situation in the region is a blatant distortion of facts.
“It is expected that the member states of the Security Council, especially Russia and China, as well as other countries that honor the principles of the UN Charter and international law, will not allow the United States to abuse the Security Council to complicate the situation and commit crimes against Iran,” Abbas Araghchi emphasized. Furthermore, the head of the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry reaffirmed the country’s determination to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The minister likened threats to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure to a war crime and genocide. He stated that if these threats are realized, Tehran will respond immediately and decisively. Previously, Abbas Araghchi had stated that the Islamic Republic, by striking targets in Middle Eastern countries, exercised its legitimate right to self-defense.
Russia’s warning regarding Israeli strikes in the Caspian: “You are opening Aeolus’s bag”
It is noted that days ago, Russia expressed strong concern over the recent strikes in Iran, warning that the attacks risk broadening the conflict and affecting its own economic interests. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that Moscow is “monitoring with increasing concern” what she described as an expanding campaign of Israeli and American bombardments throughout Iran. She particularly focused on the March 18 strike on the port of Bandar-e Anzali in the Caspian Sea, describing it as a key commercial and logistical hub used in Russian-Iranian trade, including food shipments. Maria Zakharova accused the US-Israeli “alliance” of fueling the escalation and warned that their actions risk dragging Caspian countries into a wider conflict.
