Armenian political expert:

10 January 2012

Washington will not unleash war against Iran on threshold of the presidential election, Alexander Iskandaryan, Director of the Caucasus Institute, told media, Tuesday. He thinks that the West's pressure on Tehran just aims to prevent implementation of the nuclear program of Iran and through political measures only.

Iskandaryan is sure that the USA and its European allies try to weaken Iran's impressive presence in Syria and break the developments there so favorable to Tehran.

The political expert said that the West's military rhetoric towards Iran should not surprise anyone, for it has always been observed since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Iskandaryan said that Tehran quite steadily resists the West's pressure that will hardly grow into a war at least in the nearest future.

Donald Trump still wants Greenland. "We have to have it", the US president insists. He has sparked a fresh row with Denmark after appointing a special envoy to Greenland.   In response to a question from the BBC about the new role of Jeff Landry, the Republican governor of Louisiana, Trump said the US needed Greenland for "national protection" and that "we have to have it". Trump specifically mentioned Chinese and Russian ships as potential threats in the nearby seas. Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, has had extensive self-government since 1979, though defence and foreign policy remain in Danish hands. While most Greenlanders favour eventual independence from Denmark, opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to becoming part of the US. (click the image to read the full story).
