Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned against any military attack against Iran, describing it as a “disastrous scenario.”

According to Press TV, Lavrov said during a major annual press conference on Wednesday “Regarding the Iranian issue, we have mentioned on many occasions that the attempts to solve the Iranian nuclear issue through force and launching a strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities could be really dangerous.”
He added “We really hope that the idea will not be implemented in reality. The majority of the countries of the world stick to this similar approach… and we really hope that we’ll be able to prevent such a disastrous scenario.”
Elsewhere in his press conference, the Russian top diplomat praised Iran’s significant role in solving problems facing the region.
Lavrov said “Iran is part of the region. It is one of the most important countries for the region. Without Iran one could hardly hope to address various issues existing there.”
He said that the US did not hesitate to establish contact with Tehran to solve the security issues Washington faced in Iraq and did the same in Afghanistan but opposed Iran’s participation in resolving the Syrian crisis although the Islamic Republic had welcomed the Geneva agreement on Syria, which was reached on June 30, 2012.
Iran stresses that the crisis in the Arab state must be resolved politically. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly condemned any foreign interference in Syria and denounced the support of certain countries’ support of militants carrying out terrorist activities in the country.
