U.S. military in Iran is unavoidable, Tehran in its part works out plan of seizing BakuJune 11, 2007 - 16:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - An U.S. military invasion in Iran is unavoidable, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, the United States has lost too much recently to withdraw. "The American army comes off second-best in Iraq, which is being provided with arms from neighboring countries. And this is a rather forcible argument for launching a war. In this case Armenia must keep neutrality. However, there exists a danger of radioactive infection. There are 4 nuclear power plants in Iran: Bushehr, which is located rather far away from Armenia, two near Tehran and one in Tabriz. Under unfavorable "wind rose" a strike on the plant in Tabriz may seriously affect Armenia. As to Azerbaijan, Iran's firs return strike will target exactly that country. Based on my information, which are rather precise, Tehran works out a plan of seizing Baku," Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan underlined.
