US missile defense plans may signal strike on Iran, Russia warns


A unified missile defense system comprising the United States and six Arab states is a signal that a military strike on Iran could be on the horizon, says the Chairman of the State Duma's International Affairs Committee.

"The formation of the missile defense system is a new step to signal the possibility of a military strike on Iran, at least in a political context," Alexey Pushkov told a round table conference on Iran at the State Duma.
