    RUSSIAN FM WARNS AGAINST STRIKE ON IRAN

    YEREVAN, Armenia - Russia's foreign minister has strongly warned
    against a military attack on Iran, saying that a pre-emptive strike
    would violate international law.

    Sergey Lavrov said Monday on a visit to Armenia that an attack on
    Iran would destabilize the region.

    Israel and the U.S. have warned that all options remain open, including
    military action, to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

    Iran insists its uranium enrichment program is aimed at civilian power
    generation and research, but Israel and Western nations believe it
    is a cover for a nuclear weapons bid.

    Russia, which built Iran's first nuclear power plant, backed some of
    the previous U.N. sanctions against Tehran, but in recent months has
    firmly rejected imposing new sanctions and called for dialogue.
