JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli media reports said on Wednesday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly visited Moscow on Monday in a bid to dissuade Russia from selling weapons to Iran.
In Moscow, a spokesman for Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin denied the reports.
A spokesman for Netanyahu said he had visited a security installation in Israel, reiterating a statement issued by his office on Monday amid media speculation about his whereabouts.

Israel sure has been having a lot of meetings with the Russians lately. It's almost as if since the election of Obama, Israel has made a policy of switching its American diplomatic push to a Russian diplomatic push.
Looks to be trouble for Iran, If you ask me. If Israel convinces Russia that it doesn't want to attack Iran...Russia will stop sending the monthly military munitions catalog to Iran and reduce the generous credit line.
Iran...a country that obviously requires conflict to exist will find it far more difficult to develop its own weapons systems, than it was to simply reverse-engineer and modify Russian equipment technology.
