Russia: Attack on Tehran is Attack on Moscow
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/151739#.TxMm0 HJfQ1D Jan 15, 2012 Russia has given Iran its bear hug and warns Israel and the West that an attack on Tehran would be considered an attack on Moscow. The threat heightens the prospect of World War III in the event of a military strike on Iran. “Iran is our neighbor,” Russia's outgoing ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, told reporters in Brussels. “And if Iran is involved in any military action, it’s a direct threat to our security.”
Kremlin Security Council head Nikolai Patrushev accused Israel of provoking the United States towards war against Iran, the Russian Interfax news agency reported Friday. “But at the same time, we believe that any country has the right to have what it needs to feel comfortable, including Iran," he added. Rogozin warned on Friday that more attacks on Iran could cause "a scorching Arab Summer." Russia also has come to the defense of Syrian President Bashar alAssad, warning Western nations not to intervene in Syria with military forces. Russia is a major arms supplier to Syriaand has a heavy investment in Iran’s nuclear facilities. Japan also is drifting towards Iran, backtracking from its promise last week to back American sanctions aimed at persuading Iran to halt its unsupervised nuclear development. Last week’s assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist has aroused more “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” protest rallies in Iran, where the scientist was buried on Friday. Iranian state radio said the 32-year-old scientist was involved with enriched uranium, a key ingredient for a nuclear weapon.
BREAKING: Any conflict on Iran is a direct threat to Russia’s security – Rogozin

Jan 13, 2012 Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin (RIA Novosti / Yana Lapikova) The escalating conflict around Iran should be contained by common effort, otherwise the promising Arab Spring will grow into a “scorching Arab Summer,” says Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s deputy prime minister and former envoy to NATO. “Iran is our close neighbor, just south of the Caucasus. Should anything happen to Iran, should Iran get drawn into any political or military hardships, this will be a direct threat to our national security,” stressed Rogozin. Dmitry Rogozin, who served as Russia’s special envoy to NATO in 2008-2011, was appointed deputy prime minister by Vladimir Putin in December. On Friday he was bidding farewell to his NATO colleagues in the alliance’s headquarters in Brussels. As for Syria, if NATO persists in interfering in its affairs, a catastrophe will be hard to avoid, said Rogozin, talking to journalists on the premises of the Russian mission to the alliance. “The example of Libya should have cooled everybody down in matters dealing with foreign civil wars,” he said, stressing that this is his personal point of view. “Syria must be left alone and the sides to the conflict must be assisted in breaking the stand-off and starting negotiations. No one must interfere with Syria. This is dangerous,” added Rogozin. The West’s attempts to improve democracy in the Middle East and North Africa have resulted in Islamists coming to power. It is now up to the West to decide how comfortable they feel with neighbors who determine their politics with Sharia law, says Rogozin. “If we add the escalating tensions around Iran to the situation in Syria and the consequences of the Libyan war, then the upcoming 'scorching' Arab Summer, which is following the Arab Spring, will hardly be to anyone’s taste.”
Russia’s response will make AMD ‘a waste of money’ Despite his recent promotion, Rogozin is still in charge of RussiaNATO discussions on anti-missile defense (AMD) issues. A legal binding that the European and American missile defense systems will not target Russia has not been taken off the table, Rogozin pointed out. “It seems strange that it is Russia who is required to show flexibility. This is not our project. If an architect is building a house, it is up to him to offer a design which would not violate property rights, area design and neighbors’ interests. So it is our US colleagues who should demonstrate miraculous flexibility to ensure that their AMD system does not violate the interests of other countries if it is to be located in Europe.” Rogozin also called on European leaders to stop being “political puppets” in the AMD game, adding that everyone should stand for their own interests, not for some “Atlantic solidarity.” If Moscow’s position is ignored and the range of the US anti-missile defense system covers the European part of Russia, this will be considered a situation requiring defensive action. “I will certainly ensure Russia will give a corresponding technical response if the AMD system endangers our national interests. This will result in the American AMD being considered a waste of money,” said Rogozin. Russia has everything needed to annihilate any attempt “to strip” its strategic potential, he added. This also means the era of imported weapons is coming to an end. In a farewell gesture, Rogozin said he was considering planting a tree in the alliance’s headquarters. Symbolically enough, this would be a poplar, or “topol” in Russian, which brings up associations with Russia’s modern intercontinental ballistic missiles Topol-M. But NATO replied that planting a tree within the headquarters perimeter “is not possible,” so the tree will have to be planted nearby. (Please note: A few days ago on Jan 12th, I sent out three articles, the first article was titled: "If You Can't Hear the Drums of War You
Must Be Deaf" - Henry Kissinger. I should have read it before passing it on to others and not merely glance at the headline. Afterwards I did read it and checked the source and found it was labeled an "Accurate Satire", not genuine, but fiction, which never happened. At the last minute I tagged the Kissinger piece to the top of the other two clips as it was short not suspecting it was bogus in any way before reading it, other than the headline. I'm sorry if this caused any confusion to anyone in any way. It was a good lesson learned for me to slow things down. I would suggest passing on this note to anyone you may have forwarded the Kissinger article to, asking them to delete it and not forward it to anyone else. Again I'm very sorry. The other two articles with it, "USA Terrorism: HiROSHiMA , NAGASAKi Atomic Bomb" and "The Criminality of Nuclear Deterrence Today" are however very reliable, which was my originally intended purpose. I simply acted too quickly and tagged the Kissinger article to these two articles at the top of the page because it was rather short. But something I now learned not to do before reading things through thoroughly myself. Hope this helps and clears up any misunderstandings. GBY!)
