Iran's Neighbors Move to Block U.S. Military Action

MOSCOW, Oct. 16 -- The leaders of the five countries that border the Caspian Sea pledged at a conference in Tehran Tuesday not to allow their territory to be used for attacks on any of the others, a declaration that signals the opposition of Iran's neighbors to any military action by the United States or its allies over that country's nuclear program.

"The parties underline that under no circumstances would they allow other nations to use their territory for waging aggression or other military action against any of the parties," stated the declaration by the leaders of Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.
