Russia may up Iran arms sales if US strikes Syria

Russia could expand arms sales to Iran and revise the terms of US military transit to Afghanistan if Washington launches a strike on Syria, a senior Russian lawmaker said Wednesday.
Alexei Pushkov, the Kremlin-connected chief of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of parliament, told lawmakers that Moscow hopes that the US will back Russia's proposal but warned that if "the US takes the path of exacerbating the situation and forgoing diplomacy for the sake of a military scenario, such measures would seem absolutely justified to me," Pushkov said.
