Expert: U.S. deems Azerbaijan “second front” against Iran

War against Iran isn’t a desired development for the U.S., Armenian political analyst said.

“The U.S. currently possesses no potential for a successful war,” Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan said, adding that the U.S. failed to offer a final solution to the problem in Iraq and achieve quality changes in Afghanistan.

Dwelling on Iran’s problem, the expert noted that the U.S. enjoys observing Azeri militarization.

According to Mr. Melik-Shahnazaryan, the U.S. perceives Azerbaijan as a “second battlefront against” Iran also in the context of destabilizing the situation in the country.

“Through her visit to the South Caucasus region, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pursued the goal to familiarize herself with the countries’ stance on the issue,” the political analyst said.
