Russian parliament official: Militarism will have no chance to deal with Iran Konstantin Kasachev, the deputy chairman of the Federation Council (Senate) of Russia, believes that the developments surrounding Iran may be conducted according to different scenarios, although it is unlikely that there will be a compromise scenario between them, after which Tehran's geopolitical opponents will leave this country alone. According to Kasachev, Donald Trump's actions towards Iran are largely the result of his "elevation and pride" after the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January.
