4/21/12- This is a brief note on the possibility that in the event Iran is attacked by the U.S. and/or Israel, Russia may take the opportunity to invade Georgia and finally finish off Sakashvilli, thereby opening up an overland route to Russian military bases in Armenia which may be used to transport supplies and materiel to Iran during a conflict.
Russian officials have recently spoken regarding this possibility, and there is certainly a faction in the Kremlin that views a possible attack on Iran as an opportunity for Russia to settle old scores with Georgia while expanding her strategic posture by establishing overland contact with Armenian bases.
Assistance to Iran by Russia through Armenia in the vent of an attack on Iran may not tale the form of overt military aid, but may include covert transfers and other forms of clandestine assistance. More will follow on this matter in time.
