Forecast: Destabilization in Iran can lead to unpredictable consequences of its initiators
ArmInfo.Internal destabilization in Iran is quite capable of leading its initiators to unpredictable consequences. Such an opinion to ArmInfo was expressed by the head of the department of Iranian studies of Yerevan State University Vardan Voskanyan.
Half an hour ago in Tehran there was an explosion at the metro station Imam Khomeini. Information about the victims or those killed as a result of the explosion is not yet available. This is the third incident in the Iranian capital for this morning.
"So far, there is very little information around the explosions in Tehran, in this light, attempts to do a deep analysis of the situation, in particular, to try to connect this tragedy with the events around Qatar are too early. In any case, I am more than convinced of the ability of the Iranian leadership not only to control the situation in the country, but also give an appropriate response to the manifestation of terror against civilians," he said.
According to his estimates, the style of terrorist attacks on Iran is traditional and inherent in the authors of recent attacks, however, it is hopeless to use terror against Iranians like it is in Europe. In his view, as a regional superpower, Iran undoubtedly has information about the customers and the purposes of this attack. and the response, according to his predictions, they will not force themselves to wait long.
"And at last, the main circumstance. Destabilization in Iran can lead to unpredictable consequences of its own initiators, going beyond the country and covering the region with uncontrollable chaos. I can say that its initiators will not be able to manage such a chaotic process. However, I'm still inclined to think that Tehran will cope with the situation, how he coped with other similar situations", the expert emphasized.
At the same time, Voskanyan underscored that he shares the alarm of the Armenian media and the expert community about the situation in Iran, since the southern neighbor is one of the important components of Armenia's stability and national security. Therefore, the alarm, according to his estimates, is fully justified. However, it is premature, since the situation in Iran, according to his estimates, is under the complete control of the authorities.
Earlier, four armed men broke into the country's parliament, opened fire and took several people hostage. The attackers were armed with a pistol and two AK-47. The attackers were blocked, the building was surrounded by policemen. A special operation to seize the building began.
Also is reported on the shooting in the territory of the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini in the south of Tehran, there are victims. Here, the suicide bomber blew up the explosives that were on him. In total, as a result of both attacks, according to the latest information, 13 people were injured. As the Fars agency reports, responsibility for the attacks was assumed by the terrorist organization "Islamic State".
