Russia warns Israel, West against attack on Iran
Russia warns Israel, West agains… JPost – Iranian Threat – News.
MOSCOW – Russia warned Israel and the West on Wednesday against any military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities but suggested Tehran should be quicker to cooperate over inspections of its nuclear sites.
Speaking at his annual news conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov mixed words of caution over isolating Iran or attacking it with a gentle nudge to Tehran over the inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“Attempts to prepare and implement strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and on its infrastructure as a whole are a very, very dangerous idea. We hope these ideas will not come to fruition,” Lavrov said.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has hinted strongly at possible military action to stop Iran from developing an atomic bomb. In an election victory speech on Wednesday, he said preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons would be the main challenge for a new government.
Referring to talks in which the IAEA has been trying to negotiate an agreement for inspectors to gain access to sites, officials and documents, Lavrov said: “The Iranians have said they want this document to be agreed in full. We think our Iranian colleagues could do this a little bit faster.”
Speaking of separate negotiations between Iran and six world powers that are trying to ensure it does not pursue a nuclear weapons program, Lavrov said he was confident a new round of talks would be held but said a venue had not yet been agreed.
Iran denies it is trying to develop a nuclear arsenal and says its nuclear program has only peaceful purposes.
Tehran has suggested Cairo as the venue for the next round of talks with P5+1, ISNA reported.

One has to be an idiot, to take the Russians seriously.
If at all, the IIranians would grant IAEA access only to the sites that are known to the IAEA.
The past has shown how little we can trust the mullahs.
They admitted the existence of unknown sites only when they were discovered by intelligence services.
Second, the Iranians are not willing to negotiate any serious deal.
So one should completely ignore those foolish and deceiptive Russian politians.

Again you are lying.
Renbe, you are a pathological liar. Did you ever say anything truthful? I doubt it.
The article says: “Despite Iranians’ suffering under the burden of ever-tightening Western sanctions, analysts believe Tehran has been evading a new round of nuclear talks with the P5+1 — the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — because it believes Western powers don’t plan to offer substantially more than the package rejected by Iran at the previous round of talks in Moscow last June.”
This clearly says that they offered them something.
But of course for your mullah monkeys nothing short of the right to build nukes is enough.
You are a joke. Spare us your bullshit.
Only an idiot quotes articles that show that he is lying.
