Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
 RT.com (excerpts):  A military strike against Iran over its nuclear program would be a serious mistake with unpredictable consequences, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.  Lavrov pointed out that there is no military solution to international conflicts, as it can only increase the number of victims.  "We get evidence to that every day when we see how problems around Iran are being solved: whether it's in Iraq or Afghanistan, or what is happening in other countries of that region," the minister said on Monday, speaking at a joint media conference with its Irish counterpart Eamon Gilmore.  The top Russian diplomat stressed that any conflict can only be solved on the basis of principles approved by the international community and established by the United Nations Charter.  The international law allows states to use force only in self defense or when there is a respective resolution by the UN Security Council.  

The comment followed last week's remarks by Israeli President Shimon Peres, who referred to Iran as "the greatest danger" for Tel Aviv and the entire world and added that the military action against the Islamic Republic may be taken soon.  


 Meanwhile the Washington Post, citing diplomatic sources, reported on Monday that UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, obtained information that Iran could have advanced on its way to the creation of nukes with the help of foreign specialists, including a "former soviet weapons scientist."  It is alleged that he "tutored Iranians over several years on building high precision detonators of the kind used to trigger a nuclear chain reaction."  It is also stated that experts from Pakistan and North Korea provided the Iranians with technology that helped the Islamic Republic to propel "to the threshold of nuclear capability."  

The Iranian side claims that the documents which supposedly prove that the Islamic state had progressed in the development of nuclear weapons are forged.  Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi noted that Americans had published similar data in the past.  Commenting earlier on the US accelerating plans to launch a strike against Iran, he said that Tehran was "prepared for the worst" and expressed hope that Washington "will think twice before they put themselves on a collision course with Iran.  The US has unfortunately lost wisdom and prudence in dealing with international issues.  It depends only on power," the media quoted Salehi as saying.  

Commentary:  First, Russia is so very proud and arrogant that if any of its neighboring countries shot missiles into Russia constantly, and continuously threatened to "wipe Russia off the face of the map," as the Muslims in Gaza and the Muslims in Iran do against Israel, namely Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Russians wouldn't think twice about it, that country would be wiped out in a few moments - no hesitation!  America would do the same!  Second, as for Israel waiting for the United Nations to properly address the matter of Iran's constant threats against Israel and their formulation of nuclear weapons - forget it.  The "United Nations" is dominated by Muslims and they aren't going to do a thing, not one thing to help Israel.  Before they (the UN) even open their mouths to discuss the Islamic hatred in Iran and Iran's plans to annihilate Israel, Iran will have launched nuclear bombs into Israel.  Just by their decision to keep Iran as a member nation, while Ahmadinejad threatens to "wipe Israel off the face of the map," is a shameful open display of the UN's utter uselessness in the world.  They could be better named the "Useless Nations."  What "UN Security Council" do you suppose Lavrov is referring to?  The one that sits idly by while the Arab nations surrounding Israel are chopping limbs and cutting people's heads off in the name of Sharia Law?  They have no real security council that cares about humanity.  Most of the UN nations support Sharia Law.  

 The Russians aren't idiots; they know exactly what they are suggesting, at the risk - or even the purpose - of Israel's demise.  They are fully aligned with Iran and, in fact, the Bible tells us that Russia (Gog) will come against Israel in these last days (Ezekiel 38), and they will be defeated!
  In fact, it would be of benefit to Mr. Lavrov to read Ezekiel 39, where Ezekiel prophesies that it will take seven months to bury the dead army of Russia in the land of Israel.
