Some sources of the Russian
Ministry of Defense declared that the Kremlin receives information on
the preparation of an attack by Israel against Iran's nuclear sites
with the support of the United States. The attack could be fast and
launched very soon. The response of Teheran should not take long. A
new war could be started in the region, with unpredictable consequences.
However, Russia makes preparation to minimize losses due to possible
action against Tehran has been going on for over a year. Currently,
she is almost complete. According to sources from the Russian Ministry
of Defense in October-November 2011, the 102nd Russian military base
in Armenia has been fully optimized. Military families have been repatriated
to Russia, the Russian forces deployed near Erevan were reduced, and
the military units were projected in the region of Gumri, closer to
the Turkish border.
A naval group of Russian Northern Fleet under the command of the aircraft
carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, which intends to enter the Syrian port of
Tartus, was sent near the Mediterranean coast. In the case of a conflict
in the region, Russia could take the side of Iranian forces with military-technical
assistance and combat equipment.
