[Russian Federation Security Council: U.S. and Israel May Use Negotiations to Prepare for Ground Action Against Iran] Golden Finance reported on April 15 that Russian media on the 14th cited information released by the Russian Federation Security Council, stating that given the Pentagon's continued troop buildup in the Middle East, the United States and Israel may use peace negotiations as a pretext to prepare for ground military action against Iran. Today, Russia's news agency and TASS reported that the Russian Federation Security Council announced that if U.S.-Iran negotiations fail to achieve their expected goals, higher-intensity hostilities could break out within two weeks. Additionally, Iran "still possesses a large amount of weaponry." The report noted that the Iranian government currently maintains control over the domestic situation, and Iran has not experienced the "unrest and internal turmoil that Washington and Tel Aviv hope to see." Various Iranian socio-political groups have become more united around the central government in the face of U.S.-Israeli interference. (Xinhua News Agency)
