MOSCOW, October 2. /TASS/. New US bombing of Iran would destabilize the situation in the Middle East, and such a scenario should be avoided, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko told reporters.

"We would like to avoid such a scenario because [the bombings] would increasingly destabilize relations in the region between Iran and its Arab neighbors," he said, commenting on statements by US officials about the possibility of resuming the bombing of Iran.

US President Donald Trump earlier said such a scenario is possible after the November midterm congressional elections.
