Things ratchet up

The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, none too subtly warned the United States not to embark on military endeavours outside the borders of Iraq and explicitly noted Iran. According to Mr. Lavrov:

"The escalation of the conflict and its possible spread beyond the Iraqi borders will inevitably result in catastrophic consequences and not for the Middle East alone...I believe Washington understands this."

Undoubtedly there will be more to follow.
