Russia Has No Plan in Case of Gulf War
Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not preparing a plan of actions in the case of a military conflict between Iran and any other country, said RIA Novosti with reference to Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.
Kosachev said that Russia’s Foreign Ministry and other bodies of executive branch already have the plans, worked out in advance, for acting in case of “various scenarios” of events in the Persian Gulf, except one. “The only scenario which is completely excluded is the use of military force against Iran,” he said.
The deputy added that Tehran “does not clarify the numerous questions” posed by the IAEA, while “the IAEA has no proofs that Iran is implementing a military nuclear program”.
Information came on March 27, 2007, that Russia’s main intelligence directorate (GRU) has discovered evidence that the U.S. is preparing an attack on Iran. According to GRU, everything is almost ready for delivering a massive missile-bomb strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Meanwhile, the U.S. does not exclude “any scenarios of events” in Iran.
