January 14, 2012 | 14:46
YEREVAN. - Israel may attack Iran, but there is little likelihood,
military expert Artsrun Hovhannisyan said at a press conference on
Saturday adding that it may cause serious circumstances for the region
and for the world.
According to the expert, it is difficult to foresee development of the
events, as some factors make it inevitable, meantime others just do
not let it happen.
As regards possible military actions against Iran, Hovhannisyan
believes that they are fraught with serious consequences.
`Iran's military power yields only to Israel. Tehran will hardly do
something in case of air attack. However, it has other leverages
through which it can give a response. It may attack Azerbaijan and
Turkey if they directly or indirectly run a military campaign against
Iran,' the expert said.
`Unfreezing of local conflicts is possible. As a result, escalation of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not ruled out as well,' he said.
If Iran is attacked, it will reshape balance of forces in the region
or even in the entire world as there are many states interested in.
`We should not exclude even the start of the World War Three,' he concluded.
