Medvedev: Israel will not attack Iran

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev recently said that Israeli President Peres told him that Israel would not launch any strikes on Iran.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister stated that Russia will not endorse any more sanctions against Iran.

Barack Obama scrapped the missile shield in Eastern Europe and he believes that he can charm the Mullahs out of building a nuke.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Israel told Russia it would not launch an attack on Iran, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in a CNN interview released Sunday, in which he described such an attack as "the worst thing that can be imagined."

Medvedev said Israeli President Shimon Peres made the pledge at a meeting in August. After the meeting Peres said Medvedev had promised to reconsider the sale to Iran of S-300 anti-aircraft systems that would complicate an Israeli attack.[...]

When he visited me in Sochi, Israeli President Peres said something important for us all: 'Israel does not plan to launch any strikes on Iran, we are a peaceful country and we will not do this'," Medvedev said in the interview, which was recorded on Tuesday, according to a Kremlin transcript.

An attack would lead to "a humanitarian disaster, a vast number of refugees, Iran's wish to take revenge and not only upon Israel, to be honest, but upon other countries as well.

"But my Israeli colleagues told me that they were not planning to act in this way and I trust them," he said.
I believe Israel won't strike Iran. If they were serious about striking Iran's nuclear facilities, they would've done so long ago.
