Russian Security Chief Warns Iran Could “Explode” if Military Action Launched Any military action against Iran could cause the regional situation to “explode”, according to the head of Russia’s Security Council Igor Ivanov quoted by AFP. Ivanov called for a diplomatic solution to the international standoff over Iran’s nuclear program. “Any military action in Iran will lead to consequences that could seriously explode the situation in the region and beyond,” he was quoted as saying Thursday by ITAR-TASS and Ria Novosti. The United States and their European allies fear Iran is hiding a secret military program behind the building of a civilian atomic power capacity. Iran insists its nuclear aims are entirely peaceful. They have been pushing for a binding UN resolution on Iran that could open the way to economic sanctions, possibly escalating towards military action, but have met resistance from Russia and China, which are also permanent members of the Security Council and have close ties with Iran. Ivanov described negotiations at the United Nations as “fairly complicated.” “Russia has always stood for and stands for political and diplomatic methods for resolving the problem,” he was quoted as saying by RIA Novovsti. “The most effective decision is one which is based on consensus in the UN Security Council.” ---------------------------------------------------
