MOSCOW — Russia has starkly warned Israel and the United States against attacking Iran, saying Moscow sees no evidence that Tehran’s nuclear program is aimed at developing weapons, the Interfax news agency reported on Thursday.
“We warn those who are no strangers to military solutions … that this would be harmful, literally disastrous for regional stability,” Interfax quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying.
An attack on Iran “would set off deep shocks in the security and economic spheres that would reverberate far beyond the boundaries of the Middle East region,” Ryabkov was quoted as saying.
“We, as before, see no signs that there is a military dimension to Iran’s nuclear program. No signs,” Interfax quoted Ryabkov – Russia’s point man for diplomacy on Iran’s nuclear programme – as saying.

A nuclear attack is tantamount to suicide, so the risk of Iran using a bomb comes down to the chances of someone with no care of the consequences coming into control of the bomb. Israel, US, UK, are all top arms exporting countries so arguments about concerns over Iran transferring military technology are also hard to accept.
