/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Statements about U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran are
unfounded, Tadevos Charchyan, an expert on Iran, told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
Information about over 40 NATO warships on approaches to Iran is false,
according to him.
"Such statements are made to test Iran or to provoke tough anti-Israeli
reaction. Neglecting the show, Ahmadinejad can avoid pressure. Anyway,
preoccupied with Iraq, the United States will not dare to attack Iran,"
the expert said.
As to U.S. missile strikes on Pakistan and Afghanistan, Charchyan
said, "It’s the consequence of U.S. non-conservatives’ anti-Iranian
position. It’s quite clear that any action against a Muslim state is
linked to U.S.-Israel tandem. However, it will hardly bring dividends
to the interested parties. I do exclude intrusion into Iran,"
he concluded.
Earlier, Alaska Governor and Republican vice presidential nominee
Sarah Palin told ABC News that nuclear weapons under the control of
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would be "extremely dangerous to everyone
on this globe." She called for a hands-off approach to Israel if it
decided to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.
"We cannot second-guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend
itself," she said.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert summoned Defense Minister
Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni for an urgent consultation
on Iran.
