TEHRAN (FNA)- The US plans to deploy its military forces near Iranian
borders in Armenia under the cover of the UN peace-keeping troops,
an Azeri politician stated on Monday.
"Some parts of the territories occupied by Armenia lie in Iran's
neighborhood and the US wants to deploy its forces in the region under
the cover of the UN peace-keeping troops," Head of the Islamic Party
of Azerbaijan Mohsen Samadov told FNA.
Noting that Washington's measure is aimed at putting pressure on Iran,
he reiterated that actually the US wants to endanger Iran and put
the country under a military siege.
Samadov further pointed out that all Azerbaijan's religious parties
have condemned the US plot after it was uncovered and announced in
his country, and said the Islamic Party has protested strongly against
the plan.
The US accuses Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon, while it has never
presented any corroborative document to substantiate its allegations.
Washington possesses advanced weapons of mass destruction, including
nuclear warheads.
Iran vehemently denies the charges, insisting that its nuclear program
is for peaceful purposes only. Tehran stresses that the country has
always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number
of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.
Meantime, a 2008 study by the Institute for Science and International
Security (ISIS), a prestigious American think tank, found that a
military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities "is unlikely" to delay
the country's program.
The ISIS study also cautioned that an attack against Iran would
backfire by compelling the country to acquire nuclear weaponry.
