RUSSIA INTENSIFYING EFFORTS TO GET WEAPONS TO IRAN BECAUSE U.S. WILL ATTACK
SEPT 26 2005
KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM
“The United States no longer even hides the fact that, in parallel with diplomacy at the IAEA,
it is making preparations to resolve the conflict by force,” Kommersant said.
Russia is intensifying efforts to sell
weapons to Iran while such sales remain legal amid mounting pressure on
the Islamic state over its controversial nuclear program, the daily Kommersant
said on Monday.
Moscow “has stepped up military-technological
cooperation with Tehran,” the business daily said, citing an
unidentified source.
It said top officials within Russia’s military industrial complex decided to
concentrate on arms sales to Tehran for two reasons.
“Firstly, as many weapons as possible must be sold to
Iran before an international embargo against this country comes into force.”
Secondly, should the United States decide to go to war
in Iran, Russia wants Iran to be well armed to ensure that U.S. forces become
at least as bogged down there as they already are in Iraq, the daily said.
“In either case, such a policy carries a high risk of
creating a major international scandal, at the
very least,” the newspaper commented.
The report came two days after the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) formally found Iran in violation of its obligations under
the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), a decision the United States
hailed as a “significant step forward” in its efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear
plans, AFP added.
“The United States no longer even hides the fact that,
in parallel with diplomacy at the IAEA, it is making preparations to resolve
the conflict by force,” Kommersant said.
The U.S. ambassador to the ex Soviet republic of Azerbaijan, which borders
Iran, told AFP in a recent interview that Washington is encouraging and
helping fund a build up in the capacities of naval forces for Azerbaijan and
another former Soviet republic, Kazakhstan.
Both border the oil rich Caspian Sea, as does Iran. In its assertion that
Washington is already making preparations for military
action in the region, Kommersant cited the U.S. funded construction of
two radar stations in Azerbaijan.
