TEHRAN (FNA)- The Israeli media said Russia has made a series of rather
preemptive moves to block a possible US-Israeli strike on Iran from
the North.
Israel's debkafile said in a report that after blocking the way
to direct Western and Arab military intervention in Syria through
the Mediterranean, Russia sent its Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
last week on a round trip to the capitals of Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan - an expedition designed to
secure Iran against a potential US/Israeli attack via its Northern
and Eastern neighbors.
On his return to Moscow, April 6, the Russian army let it be known
that highly-advanced mobile S-400 surface-to-air missiles had been
moved into Kaliningrad, the Baltic enclave bordered by Poland and
Lithuania, its response to US plans for an anti-Iran missile shield
system in Europe and the Middle East.
In Yerevan, the Russian minister finalized a deal for the establishment
of an advanced Russian radar station in the Armenian mountains to
counter the US radar set up at the Turkish Kurecik air base, the
Israeli website said quoting military sources.
Just as the Turkish station (notwithstanding Ankara's denials) will
trade data on incoming Iranian missiles with the US station in the
Israeli Negev, the Russian station in Armenia will share input with
Tehran, it said.
