Iran ‘Won’t Be Alone’ If US Attacks, Russian Envoy Says

Whether Russia would provide material support is up to the President the diplomat said

Iran “won’t be alone” if the United States decides to launch a military strike on the Islamic republic, a senior Russian diplomat said on Wednesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump targeted Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials with sanctions on Monday. The dramatic step to increase pressure on Iran follows Tehran’s downing of an unmanned American drone last week, which Russia said had violated Iranian airspace. On Tuesday, Trump threatened to obliterate parts of Iran if it attacked “anything American,” but later left the door open for talks.

“Iran will withstand this type of fight and Iran is not alone,” Zamir Kabulov, the Foreign Ministry’s special envoy for Asian countries including Iran, said at a Russian-Iranian policy forum in Moscow.

When asked if Russia was ready to provide material support to Iran if the U.S. attacks it, Kabulov said that “specific actions are a question for the Russian president.”

“But it’s not just Russia, many other countries sympathize and empathize with Iran,” the Kommersant business daily quoted him as saying. “Tehran won’t be alone if the U.S., God forbid, takes wild and irresponsible actions against it.”

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said separately that Moscow will try to persuade the U.S. and Iran to start “civilized” dialogue.

“This, of course, assumes the end to the [American] policy of ultimatums, sanctions and blackmail,” Lavrov told another briefing later on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia and its partners will take steps to counter new sanctions that Washington imposes on Iran, but did not specify what those steps would be.

    Iran is the angel of death for the empire… . the kiss of death for Israhell…..

    Did the Russian Envoy check with the Non Semitic Khazarian Putin before making that statement?

    Cause the lust to attack Iran, is orders from Israhell, and the mixed breed Khazarian Putin has proved he puts Non Semitic Khazarians occupying the Semitic Palestinian’s Ancestral Home Land of Palestine, before the Russian people’s interest.

      When someone’s judgement is clouded by sheer bias or prejudice , then their opinion becomes valueless….if you were party to all the ins and outs of the intrigue of international politics then perhaps I would listen. In my honest opinion, Putin is, and has managed, to walk the tightrope between diplomacy and the useless folly of rash but unnecessary ultimatums…..very few statesmen have ever been able to do that !

        If you are an Non Semitic Israhell Hazbara three shekel troll, the fire hydrant for Khazarian street mutt relief is at the corner of pedophile and Usury and Mass Murder

        if your are just an uninformed ignorant running off at the mouth sheep, the slaughter house will come to you.

        Ether way, I really and not interested in what you are trying so desperately to peddle.

          You must be American according to your reaction.
          Your man O’Neill is a reasonable man in his discussions I followed quite regurlarly.

          That is what this is all about, isn’t it. To listen and understand each other and discuss in a reasonable way.

          Peace.

          1. John C Carleton says

            I did not say anything about O’Neill.

            Not one word.

            I took exception to a zionist Russian Expat & spawn Non Semitic Khazarian Pedophile promoting Hazbara troll trying desperately to divert attention from my truth by throwing said O’Neill out like a Red Herring .

            As you seem to be forgetful of the mud the Hazbara tried to sling at me, here it is:

            “Mathew Neville John C Carleton • 9 hours ago

            John C Carleton is peddling exactly WHAT ?
            Séamus Ó Néill on the other hand is more coherent.
            Lets try to be more coherent ?
            Isreal has all the very latest missiles it wants more or less FREE from the USA whereas Iran has its own & whatever it can BUY or beg from Russia… ”

            My reply:

            Close cousin?”

            Now read, reread and reread again if necessary, and point out to me where I said one thing, either way about O’Neill.

            .

            If you don’t like the Royal Blue Blooded big Lizard’s leg, why you keep looking at it lustfully, drooling?

            Non-Semitic Russian Expat & spawn Khazarian pedophile loving khazarian street Mutt!
            Where the street mutt catcher when ya need em?

            Reminds me of the pedophile Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal.
            Close cousin?

          Every post you make becomes more incoherent, you obviously are either consumed by irrational hatred or insecurity, or both…devoid of logical or reasoned thinking and I shall leave you to wallow in your imagined insight into world affairs !

          1. John C Carleton says

            So, run along Hazbara.

            I do not have a Non Semitic Khazarian Russian Expat spawn thereof Street mutt whistle, so I know I did not call you.

            However, since you tried to mount the Royal Blue Blooded big Lizard’s leg, like a bad Khazarian street mutt, I will throw your a bone to distract you from your lust, while I escape your unwanted advances.

            THE HEADLINE IS:
            Iran Won’t be alone if US attacked, Russia Envoy says.”

            Excerpt:
            “Russia has rejected an Iranian request to buy S-400 missile defense systems, concerned that the sale would stoke more tension in the Middle East, according to two people with knowledge of the matter, including a senior Russian official.
            The request was rebuffed by President Vladimir Putin, the people said on condition of anonymity because they’re not authorized to discuss the matter. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif visited Moscow in May.”

            Nitwityahoo told Putin NO!
            And Putin said, Yes Daddy!

      I don’t understand your reference to ‘Non Semitic Khazarians’. Khazarians are Caucasians, of course they’re not Semitic. Semitic refers to the language, people, and customs of indigenous natives of Arabia. One of the greatest, and still is, hoaxes in the world. They, the Khazarians, usurped the jewish religion in 800AD.

      1. John C Carleton says

        Thats what I said, Pedophilic Non Semitic Khazarian Turkmen/slavic halfbreed reject outcaste from the Steppes of Russia.

    There is an extremely well-done, articulate piece on the situation in Aljazeera today:

    “Iran “won’t be alone” if the United States decides to launch a military strike on the Islamic republic, a senior Russian diplomat said on Wednesday.”

    hello?
    anybody listening?

  5. jerry says

    well, Russia didn’t do squat when we sent missiles into Syria at Iran’s proxies the last time. nor does Russia do squat when Israel takes out Iranian forces building attack bases against Israel in Syria. So this is a lot of bluster.

  6. silver7 says

    Ever noticed how the US is forever saying Iran is the bad actor. I’m still waiting for them to show us the bad. Its been clear to everyone the US has been the bad actor, very bad in fact. Fake war on Iraq. Fake war on Vietnam. The US bombed Syria for 2 years then suddenly they didn’t. Payed democratic rebels who suddenly were not democratic at all. Millions killed and made homeless. — Can’t give them much for trying.
