US-Israel military operation can spur movement in Iran, its neighbors to develop nuclear weapons: Lavrov
The US-Israel "aggression" against Iran could spur a movement in the country and its neighbors in favor of developing nuclear weapons, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference after talks with Brunei's Second Minister of Foreign Affairs Erywan Yusof in Moscow, Lavrov said "the seemingly paradoxically declared noble goal of starting a war to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons could stimulate completely opposite trends." "This action, this war that has now been started against Iran, could, firstly, spur a movement in favor of developing nuclear weapons, and not only in Iran," but in neighboring Arab countries as well.
