Lavrov: If there is a Third World War, it will be Nuclear
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced yesterday that a possible Third World War would be a nuclear conflict. And the Pentagon has strongly condemned Russia's rhetoric over the world's most destructive weapons and said it hopes the decision to postpone the intercontinental ballistic missile test will serve as an example for Moscow.
“At this time of tension, we realize how important it is for both the United States and Russia to consider the risk of misjudgment and take steps to reduce those risks,” said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
He added that the decision to postpone the test was intended to “demonstrate that we do not intend to take any action that may be misunderstood or misinterpreted”.
Capable of carrying a nuclear charge, the Minuteman III intercontinental missile is a key element of America's strategic arsenal and has a range of more than 6,000 miles (9,660 km).
