Iran, with its oil and gas supplies may divide up Iraq’s share if
the USA manages to take advantage of the Iranian opposition living
in the West.

Iran nuclear problem still continues to be the trouble for the Bush
Administration. The USA plans unprecedented sanctions against Iran,
particularly against guard Corps of Islamic Revolution, which are
accused of creating weapon of mass destruction and supporting terrorism
on state level.

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Administration made this decision because Iran’s
position hasn’t changed. "Our diplomacy must be stronger and more
effective," writes The Washington Post. New sanctions condemn Iran
to complete economic isolation, especially regarding its military
sphere. "Iran’s policy poses an immense challenge to the American
security and our interests in the Middle East, and perhaps in the whole
world, because the combination of terrorism, repression in the country
and the striving to get nuclear technology for weapon manufactory, is
a very dangerous," announced the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
in her speech delivered in the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

All these accusations are not new; the situation is almost like the one
during the Invasion of Iraq; the same accusations, the same threats
and chaos, and disintegration of Iraq into several "independent"
provinces, whose significance is determined by the oil supply the given
province possesses. The Province of Kurdistan is on the first place,
which is the reason why the USA doesn’t want to have problems with
Turkey and try its best to "dissuade" the government of Erdoghan off
the invasion of the North. Iran, with its oil and gas supplies may
divide up Iraq’s share if the USA manages to take advantage of the
Iranian opposition living in the West. The USA may also stake on Baku,
taking the claims of Azerbaijan on the part of Iran, which Baku calls
Southern Azerbaijan.

The truth is though, that Europe tries to come to an agreement
with Iran, realizing very well the consequences of just another
conflict. So, Iran and EU called the negotiations on Iran nuclear
problem constructive. Such announcements were made by the High
Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier
Solana and the former secretary of the Supreme National Security
Council of Iran Ali Larijani, who participated in the meeting as a
special representative of the spiritual leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei. True, the leader of the Iranian delegation is Saeed Jalili,
who was appointed the secretary of its Supreme National Security
Council, however this doesn’t change anything. Javier Solana also
expressed his hope that the dialogue on the resolution of the Iran
nuclear problem will continue till the end of November.

According to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Tehran is ready to carry
on the negotiations over its nuclear program, but doesn’t intend
to discuss its inalienable rights with anyone. "Iran doesn’t agree
with moratorium on uranium enrichment like it is desired by the
international community who fears the fact that Iran may in future
possess military nuclear technologies. Soon the new phase of Iranian
diplomacy is being activated, the official figures of the country are
going to visit different countries, and foreign representatives will
visit our country. I will pay new visits to the foreign countries
as well.

During these visits different consultations and negotiations
having essential influence on the international atmosphere will be
carried. Economic agreements are going to be signed as well," said
President of Iran.

In his turn, Iran’s Interior Minister Mostafa Pur-Mohammadi promised
that in case of the nuclear attack by the USA on his country, the
Republic will not make revanchist actions in regard with the Persian
Gulf countries, where the U.S. troops are always dislocated. The
Iranian Minister mentioned that in its policy Iran doesn’t give up
its principles of developing two-sided relations with the countries
of the Persian Gulf. Pur-Mohammadi highly appreciated the position
of these countries, which had refused to put their territories under
the US disposal to attack Iran, says the Agency "Sinkhua"

Armenia is in a more complicated situation. In case Iran is attacked,
Armenia will find itself in complete isolation. Though not everything
is that bad; as the temporary charge d’affaires for the USA in
Armenia Rudolf Perina announced, the U.S. government approaches the
Armenian-Iranian relations with understanding. According to his words,
the USA is perfectly aware that the only land route from Armenia passes
through Iran. "We understand all the difficulties of your situation and
this issue has been discussed in Washington with the RA Prime-Minister
Serge Sargsyan. Along with this, the U.S. government is concerned with
the development of the situation regarding the Iran nuclear problem. We
hope that the issue will get peaceful resolution," said Perina.

Meanwhile it should be mentioned that the sanctions that the US is
going to apply will not have any effect on Turkey either, which by
the way has signed a contract with Iran about cooperation in field
of energy, in spite of the strong opposition of the US.
