Washington will start a war in Iran only after the overturn of Assad regime and completion of U.S. presidential race, according to a political scientist.

“Only after Assad’s overthrown, would it be possible to make forecasts as to the war with Iran,” Alexander Skakov stated at Yerevan-Moscow TV spacebridge.

“Barack Obama, who’s facing serious election-related troubles, won’t venture an offensive on Tehran before the presidential race is over. The official Washington will start a military operation against Tehran if absolutely confident the attack will be fast and successful,” the expert concluded.
