BBC News - Russia: Israeli threat of strikes on Iran 'a mistake'

Military action against Iran would be a "very serious mistake fraught with unpredictable consequences", Russia's foreign minister has warned.

Sergei Lavrov said diplomacy, not missile strikes, was the only way to solve the Iranian nuclear problem.

His comments come after Israeli President Shimon Peres said an attack on Iran was becoming more likely.

The Times Of The Signs indeed...

I wonder what that means? I think I know. I agree, signs of the times

I think it could be the "hook in the jaw" to get Russia to attack. Russia will have to follow up on it's previous statements of protecting Iran. I could also see the "hook in the jaw" if the USA attacked Iran, then Russia would go after Israel in a tit for tat scenario. You attacked our ally, we attack yours. JMHO.
