Re: Consequences Of Attacking Iran And Why Tehran Is Not Worried
Azerbaijani analyst: Iranian missiles threaten not the USA or Russia, but Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan’s southern neighbor is working under its nuclear program and missile manufacturing that pose danger not to the USA or Russia, but directly to Azerbaijan, political analyst Rasim Musabekov said to a REGNUM correspondent commenting on a statement of director of the US Missile Defense Agency Henry Obering that in the framework of deploying the air defense in Eastern Europe, the USA plans to place a radar system in the Caucasus.
“It is worth mentioning, there are two radars in Azerbaijan installed with Americans’ support. If the USA places a radar system, there will be nothing reprehensible in it. On the contrary, Azerbaijan will get an opportunity to increase greatly control over its air space. Why Russia can afford having the very powerful Gabala RLS that monitors air traffic thousands kilometers away from Azerbaijan, and the USA is forbidden to do it? Besides, one should not forget that our southern neighbor works under its nuclear program and increases missile manufacturing. The missiles pose threat not to the USA and Russia but directly to Azerbaijan,” the analyst says. At that Rasim Musabekov does not rule out that timing of Obering’s statement was not accidental – it is continuation of the information and diplomatic stand-off between the USA and Iran. Earlier, Azerbaijan’s defense ministry rejected a possibility of deploying elements of the American air defense in its territory.
