Kremlin issues chilling 'nuclear war' warning and blames Trump's 'gross' error

Donald Trump could spark a "nuclear conflict" in the Middle East with the "biggest war" yet to come, warned the Kremlin.

The former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev — now a senior security official — claimed Trump had made a “gross” strategic error in taking on Iran.

Gulf states could respond to the crisis by seeking their own “nuclear shield”, dramatically increasing the risk of a wider conflict, he predicted.
