Russian General Vladimir Dvorkin, head of Moscow's Center for Strategic Nuclear Forces, spoke publicly of his concern that Iran will soon have intercontinental missiles capable of striking Europe. Once married with nuclear warheads, he expects those missiles will expand Iran's support of Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist acts and in general boost Iran's ability to dominate the Middle East. (Thanks to Investor's Business Daily.)
I doubt if Dvorkin's views will influence official Russian policy. Russia appears to give more weight to profits from technology sales to Iran, and to the possibility of being a regional player in the Middle East in opposition to the United States. So far the Russian leadership appears unconcerned that Russian territory will also be within range of those missiles.
Wouldn't it be great if someone in the Obama administration were listening to Dvorkin?
