No U.S. invasion to Iran till end of MayApril 5, 2007 - 15:14 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Relations between Iran and the United States have world meaning and it is not strange the whole world closely watches it, Director of NAS Institute for Oriental Studies of Armenia doctor Ruben Safrastian stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, currently no military invasion is being viewed against Iran. "An informational war is on the way, which manipulates public opinion towards unavoidable war, there is a diplomatic pressing, but till the end of May, when the term of UN ultimatum ends, there will be no U.S. attack against Iran. At the end of May the U.S. 3rd Navy will arrive in the Persian Gulf, which will, as if replace the one that is currently stationed there. But Iran's isolation has not reached the level that Washington wishes," Safrastian underlined. At the same time he said Iran has a thousand-year experience in diplomacy and that's why the United States should consider it very seriously. "Iran is not Iraq and Mahmood AhmadiNejad is not Saddam Hussein - first of all the American administration must realize it," the Director of NAS Institute for Oriental Studies underlined.
