- Iran threatens Caucasus corridor announced on Friday
- Analysts say unclear how Tehran could block it
- Diplomat says final peace deal faces just one obstacle
- Armenia must amend its constitution, he says
- Armenia PM has called for vote on the change
DUBAI/MOSCOW, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Iran threatened on Saturday to block a corridor planned in the Caucasus under a regional deal sponsored by U.S. President Donald Trump, Iranian media reported, raising a new question mark over a peace plan hailed as a strategically important shift.
A top Azerbaijani diplomat said earlier that the plan, announced by Trump on Friday, was just one step from a final peace deal between his country and Armenia, which reiterated its support for the plan.
Points for keeping a straight face.
I am sure some American out there has that opinion to be honest (Steve Bannon is one of them I guess).
