Don't attack Iran, Russia starkly warns Israel and U.S.


news.nationalpost.com

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.

This comes as the biggest warning yet from Russia- to say 'those who are no strangers to military solutions' is almost to say they will not accept the American/Israeli policy of aggression. It is a strong warning.

Russia has now stated they do not believe Iran is building a nuclear weapon, hence they are not buying the idea that the west is trying to sell, ie. that a pre-emptive strike against Iranian facilities would be unacceptable as Iran is not building the bomb.



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.


Warning that an Iranian military strike would effect the entire world, not just the region.



“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.


To confirm, Russia sees 'no signs' at all Iran is building a nuclear weapon, so if Israel or the US do use a pre emptive strike, I don't think Russia will sit back and do nothing.

Not only does Russia not believe US and Israeli politicians about Iran's supposed nuke weapon program but America's and Israel's intelligence communities (aka, the CIA, Mossad, and friends) also confirm Iran has no nuke, isn't building a nuke and doesn't plan on building a nuke. These politicians and their war mongering and war actions NEED to be STOPPED!

I'm not sure I buy the idea that Iran building a bomb would justify a strike anyway. What degree of destabilization would that introduce?

If people were to stop and think for a minute even if Iran had a nuke they wouldn't use it on Israel. For one it would damage the Dome of the Rock which would really po the other Muslims of the world. And in a worst case scenario the fallout would reach Mecca and if that were to happen Israel and America would be the least of Iran's worries because over a billion Muslims would descend on their nation.

This should be the Number One concern amongst Americans - The Absolute Power of the Warmongering Puppet-Masters.

Obama is NOTHING - Romney is NOTHING. They are slaves to the corrupt system.

Without radical change your country is doomed - Maybe that's what the Globalists want?

Failure of the last remaining Superpower means that the United Nations will take 100% power.

Just posting a more "mainstream" article along the same lines.

IMHO it would be foolish for Iran to nuke Israel simply for the fact prevailing winds would put the fallout right back onto Iran. But there are many other reasons but that being right up there at the top yet rarely mentioned.

Isnt this what they said about Libya and Syria as well? Look, just last week they abandoned their port in Syria with their tails between their legs as they know it is imminent. I dont condone an attack on Iran, but we all know its coming, and neither one of thos countries are in a position to stop the US/UN

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.

I admit, I agree with Russia. I don't think Iran has or is working to get a nuclear weapon.

It used to be that we had a puppet running Iran...But he got kicked out and we have been trying to regain control of the country ever since.

It's nothing to do with nukes and everything to do with trying to topple their government so we can put one of our puppets in again...

What a bizarre twist of events that 70 years after WW2, the Western nations are the aggressors and the so called Communists are the peace keepers.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Can't argue at all. Was just adding another dynamic. Everyone knows what will happen if an Iranian nuke touches Israels soil, even the Iranians.

Don't be fooled by the names. Remember where those labels came from.

Completely agree with what you said, was only trying to add to it.

Another point I would like to raise is that whatever Russia says in immaterial, the only relevant point is that they oppose military action being taken against Iran. It is kind of a perfect diplomatic position for Russia and China, and a position they manage to take again and again in recent years. Sit on the sidelines and critique the US, and stand opposed to violence. If it turns out that they were wrong those countries will never have to take responsibility.

Russia lost their super power status many years ago , there not even a country anymore, it's run by the Russian mob , their nuclear bombs ain't worth a S#IT , their Army and Navy are very unorganized , all they do is just talk a lot of B.S

You will notice they are just warning against regional destabilization, not of a war with the US.
Nothing to see here folks, trust me.

They know what each others press release are going to be. They've agreed upon them behind closed doors prior as part of a bigger agenda. As a way to fool the average joe into thinking "this is the latest breaking news". It's a scam, they all work together duhhhh

It is often difficult to watch the news such as this, sources telling the public there is a concern of Russia threatening the US about anything. The US and Russia have much closer ties than the general public are lead to believe, this is just more "Stay tuned to the news and watch commercials" bla bla. We invite a few Russian commanders and trainees to come to the US and work with our troops on warfare and tactical training, We have joint war games in the pacific and they share our ports in Hawaii, And had anyone realized that many people here in the US use a Moscow Based internet security called Kaspersky? think about that..
