YEREVAN (YERKIR) – UN former nuclear weapons inspector Scott Ritter
stated the US Administration considers strikes upon Iran from the
territory of Azerbaijan. In his words, after acquainting oneself with
military maps, it will be clear that deploying troops in Azerbaijan
is extremely important for the US.

“US command is extremely interested in deployment of forces in
that South Caucasian country. Why is this important? It is Iran’s
neighbor. The shortest route to Teheran lies below the Caspian,
where the army plans an offensive to,” the expert noted.

Ritter supposes that the military believe they can fulfill this mission
and they plan implementing it. “They got political instructions from
the commander-in-chief to fulfill that task. No one should doubt US
President, his closest circles and the military prepare to war with
Iran,” Scott Ritter emphasized, reports American Patriot.
