Former Pentagon adviser Colonel Douglas MacGregor stated that Moscow would not leave potential large-scale strikes on Iran unanswered.
"Iran is strategically vital to Russia. This is exactly why Russia will not stand by and do nothing if we unleash a massive attack on Iran.",
Douglas MacGregor said.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin signed a law ratifying the strategic partnership agreement with Iran.
According to American media, Israel's military and political leadership called on the USA to strike Iran, but US President Donald Trump chose a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear weapons problem.
