Medvedev’s comments came after the U.S. launched strikes late Saturday targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The mission involved more than 125 U.S. aircraft, including B-2 stealth bombers, according to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.
President Donald Trump had said for days that he was deliberating whether he would conduct strikes against those sites.
The White House and the State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital regarding Medvedev's statements.
Meanwhile, Russia's Foreign Ministry claimed the strikes violated international law and called for an "end to aggression."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told reporters Sunday that the U.S. would work with allies in the region to aid in force protection in the aftermath of the strikes.
"We certainly understand the challenges of allies in the region," Hegseth said. "And, we have been respectful and in working in collaboration with them as it pertains to basing and sensitivities there."
"Ultimately, they've got a lot of assets and people in those locations also where American troops are co-located. So, that’s a consideration of ours."
