Russia advised Israel not to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. Such a move has been warned to be disastrous.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryorkov said even considering an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities would be a serious violation of nuclear safety rules. News Agency Taser.
“We have repeatedly warned Israel against speculatively considering the possibility of an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities,” Riarkov said. This would be a disastrous move and a complete violation of established nuclear safety policy.
The warning came after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a significant missile attack on Israel on October 1 in response to the killing of key leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRGC.
Tehran claimed 90 percent of the missiles hit their targets, while Israel said most of the 180 missiles fired were intercepted.
Israel’s Chief of General Staff has vowed to respond with surprise attacks on Iran at the appropriate time.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that targeting Tehran’s peaceful nuclear facilities in retaliation for Iran’s missile strikes on Israel would be a highly provocative move.
