Iran destabilization may negatively affect Armenia - expert

PanARMENIAN.Net - Any negative developments in Iran spell negative repercussions for Armenia as well, according to a political analyst.

However, as Menua Soghomonyan stated at news conference in Yerevan, U.S. seems in no hurry to attack Iran, possessing no specific information as to the stage Tehran nuclear program is at. “Uncertain if Iran won’t strike back, should it be attacked, Washington refrains from drastic measures,” the expert said, skeptical as to a possibility of an attack in near future.

“Though detrimental to the region as a whole, destabilization of situation in Iran may benefit Azerbaijan, who might use it to renew the war in Karabakh,” the expert said in response to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter’s question.

U.S. and its allies support hardening of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program; Pentagon, however, doesn’t confirm rumors of a military attack on Tehran.
