Putin tells U.S. not to strike Iran - by Oleg Shchedrov and Parisa Hafezi

President Vladimir Putin made clear to Washington on Tuesday that Russia would not accept military action against Iran and he invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Moscow for talks. Earlier, in comments aimed at the United States, Putin said during his talks in Iran: "We should not even think of using force in this region." "We need to agree that using the territory of one Caspian Sea (state) in the event of aggression against another is impossible," he told the presidents of Iran, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan at a summit of Caspian Sea states.
