Proposal In Kremlin: Russian Military Presence In Iran Under Iran-Russia Military Alliance
The Iranian website Asr-e Iran reported that the head of the Moscow-based Center for Studies on Modern Iran, Rajab Safarov, has presented to the Kremlin a proposal to establish an Iran-Russia strategic and military alliance, following the tension between Russia and the West in the Caucasus and the possibility of Georgia and Ukraine joining NATO.
Under the proposal, Russia would form a security pact with Iran and Syria, and would also maintain military bases in Iranian Azerbaijan in northwest Iran and on the Iranian island of Qeshm, near the Strait of Hormuz, in the Persian Gulf, in order to monitor the movements of the West and NATO in the region.
In exchange, Russia would promise Iran military support in the event of a U.S. or Israeli attack, and would provide it with nuclear technology.
Asr-e Iran said that the Russian proposal should be rejected, because a foreign military presence in Iran would endanger Iran’s independence and sovereignty, and would give Russia an opportunity to actualize its strategic goal and to obtain direct access to the Persian Gulf.
