Russia’s Chief of General Staff has told the press that bombing Iranian territory in order to make the country give up its nuclear program was inadmissible.

General Nikolay Makarov said at a press conference on Monday that possible bombings of Iran by the United States or Israel were an “extreme option that no one had the right to allow”. “As of the possible bombings, I doubt that they could really take place, though I think that there are such plans,” Makarov said.

The general also added that Iran will get Russian anti-aircraft systems S-300 only after the question is “solved on a state level”.

Nato scums and the American gangs... is near the end of their time... Soon the world should be free from chaos. America loud mouth insists to the world that Iran is an evil country that will use nuclear bomb to harm others. But in fact history have show us that.. America is the only in the world to ever used Nuke on another country. Not even " the evil empire of the Soviet Union" America once called it, has ever used nukes. The Zionist and America will go down in history and give way to the new era.. But im afraid it wont be pretty because the brotherhood of Muslims are brutal and aggressive toward the free advance world.

Israel will attack Iran, Oil price will increase, Dollars will collapse, America will not be the world ruling state after the war instead there will be a new super power which is Israel. World is going to see global carbon tax. World is going to see the Anti-Christ who will rule the world from Jerusalem and the fight against him. Iran never attacked a country in history, Ahmadi najad said that "The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" Is it mean that "Israel should wipe out" ? Global warming is not because of human activity but because of the sun.These years are the peack time of solar storms and it is happening from the birth of earth. All we need to understand is that the coming Global Carbon tax not to save us.

Russia will have to decide where its future lies, with the West or as an Islamic republic. Iran is begging and belligerent for war with the West and the US and Israel. Russia wants closer ties with Europe militarily yet it fails to realize the threat that Iran brings to itself. US, Israel and NATO will continue to act in the best interest of the Middle East and the world against the Iranian rogue nuclear threats. Iran has stated publicly that it desires the destruction of the state of Israel. We take that threat seriously. It is believed that Israel has nuclear weapons, hundreds as a matter of interest and it has never rattled its nuclear saber. There will be war if Iran continues down its current path and Israel does have every right to pre-emptively strike Iran with nuclear weapons if it feels threatened, it has every right to strike an enemy that is self declared to want its destruction. Few people realize how small Israel is geographically. It is tiny and Iran has the rocket capability to send weapons of mass destruction into Israel. I believe Russia has it wrong and is supporting a fascist state. Once nuclear war starts there is no telling where it will end, we are all vulnerable, Russia knows this and either seeks destruction or wants to cause greater strife along with Iran. If those missiles were ever pointed towards Russia from Iran, do you think Iran has the nuclear discipline to wage the nerve wracking tension of deterrence of does it believe Iran has that discipline or would it use those weapons as it has suggested it would.
