Fears of an all-out war have seemingly been silenced by both the US and Irans determination to find a peaceful resolution to the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. However, Iran international editor and presenter Sadeq Saba argued this could be short-lived. He told Express.co.uk in a massive conflict in the Middle East, Iran would likely strike the USAs allies in the region.<\/p>\n
He said: I think if there is a serious war between Iran and the United States Iran may ask its allies in Lebanon to attack.<\/p>\n
Iran itself may fire missiles against targets in the Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries.<\/p>\n
This is because they cannot reach American soil.<\/p>\n
But they can reach American bases in both countries.<\/p>\n

Iran has repeatedly said if America uses its bases from any country in the Persian Gulf area, Iran will see those countries as enemies.<\/p>\n

Mr Saba also explained who China and Russia would side with, in a major Middle Eastern conflict against the US.<\/p>\n
The Iran expert said China would likely stay neutral in the conflict.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He noted Russia would be most likely to side with the West but may continue to arm Iran with weapons and technology.<\/p>\n
However, Mr Saba explained Russia would not send Russian forces to support Iran or its allies in a major Middle Eastern conflict.<\/p>\n
The Iran expert said: The way that history goes when it comes to the crunch is China usually remains neutral.<\/p>\n

Russia will vote with the West.<\/p>\n
I remember when there was some kind of a resolution against Irans nuclear activities, Russia always voted with the West.<\/p>\n
Yes, Iran is becoming more and more reliant on Russia for weapons and technology.<\/p>\n
Although on the surface Russia is friendly with Iran, ideologically they are worlds apart.<\/p>\n
