YEREVAN. – Not military threats but economic sanctions are more dangerous for Iran, expert on Iranian studies Armen Israelyan told the journalists on Friday.

“The sanctions will make Iran suffer more losses than threats on using military force. Price for food products has increased twice, gas and oil prices are expected to go up as well which brings forth the discontent with the authorities. It is more beneficial for the United States than military actions,” the expert added.

“No need to try to inspire disagreement between Ayatollah Khomeini and the President of Iran,” the other expert Rudik Yaralyan said. “There are no serious religious-political disagreements, which could have caused for a change in the situation.”

At the same time Yaralyan believes that the West has hardly changed position regarding Tehran. Its goal is to create a controllable chaos, which is hardly to lead to serious geopolitical steps and military actions against Iran.

In case of a military aggression, the experts believe that Armenia will not get a fatal blow on its economy. However, Armenia may have an indirect influence, for example migration of refugees to Armenia from Iran.
