Deployment of NATO missile defense systems threatens Iran
Deployment of NATO missile defense shield in Turkey is against Iran’s national interests and Turkey, being a Moslem state, should not have assumed that deal, “tabnaq.ir” website reported.
“Turkey allowed the deployment of those systems which would be officially declared on November 18 at NATO summit. Ankara would agree to deploy a missile-defense system on its territory if its three conditions were accepted.
First, the Turkish authorities insist on building NATO, but not the U.S. missile defense system. Second, the anti-missile shield should be deployed in the all alliance's states-members. And third, Turkey would not allow NATO to turn it into the alliance's frontline state as it was during the Cold War.”
Iranian “arannews.ir” reported earlier that a local expert Hasan Qenin said if Turkey agreed upon deployment of NATO missile systems, Iran would mobilize Shiite groups of Syria and Lebanon against Turkey.
