| [Iran Press TV] Moscow has warned Washington against plans to deploy a ballistic missile system in South Korea, saying it may further complicate the situation of the volatile Korean Peninsula. On Tuesday, Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the US plan to dispatch THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) interceptor systems and long-range radars to South Korea will prompt the regional countries into "an arms race." "In a region where the situation is already extremely complicated in terms of security, this could serve as another push toward an arms race in northeast Asia and further complicate any resolution of the nuclear issues on the Korean peninsula," read the statement. Moscow further voiced concern over the plan's detrimental impact on the international security. "Such a development cannot but cause concern about the destructive influence of the United States' global missile defense on international security," the statement added. |
