TEHRAN (FNA)- Russia once again warned that aggression against Iran's
nuclear facilities would have disastrous consequences, and underlined
the non-military nature of Iran's nuclear program.
"It is hard to predict consequences (of military action), but they
would obviously be very serious and negative," Sergei Lavrov said in
response to a question at Yerevan State University during his visit
to Armenia on Monday.
He also dismissed the West's anti-Iran sanctions and pointed out,
"Attempts to impose new unilateral sanctions upon Iran by the United
States, Japan, some European and other countries are unacceptable."
Lavrov noted that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
inspectors "currently work at all nuclear objects of Iran and have
uncovered no illicit activities so far."
Israel and its close ally the United States have recently intensified
their war rhetoric against Iran. The two arch foes of the Islamic
Republic accuse Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon, while they have
never presented any corroborative document to substantiate their
allegations. Both Washington and Tel Aviv possess 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.
Iran has, in return, warned that it would target Israel and its
worldwide interests in case it comes under attack by the Tel Aviv.
Following the US and Israeli war rhetoric against Tehran, the Iranian
Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, said Tehran has an
array of options for confronting the US pressures and sanctions.
Addressing millions of Friday Prayers worshippers on Tehran University
Campus in February, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the US threats that
'all options are on the table', and underlined that the threat of war
is harmful to the US interests and war can be ten times more harmful
to that country.
"The US threats are sign of its failure in the face of Islamic
Republic's discourse and indicates that they cannot create a logical
response to Iran's reasoning," the Leader stated at the time.
"That's why it (the US) resorts to force; they do not have any logic
except using force and have no way but bloodshed to go forward."
Ayatollah Khamenei further underlined that US and others must know
and they know that Iran has threats too in face of oil sanctions and
"we impose them whenever it is necessary".
