Meeting in Russia with President Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday worked to enlist Russian support for crippling sanctions against Iran, what he called “sanctions with teeth” towards halting Iran’s nuclear program and preventing a nuclear capable Iran from becoming a reality. Mr. Netanyahu stressed the urgency of the hour, to prevent Iran from building an atom bomb.
According to an Interfax News Agency report, Russia is denying reports of a new arrangement being offered to Iran regarding demands to ship Tehran’s enriched uranium out of the country, explaining the United States, Russia and France have simply their support for the arrangement already brokered by the UN International Atomic Energy Agency.
Earlier this week, Russian officials released statements indicating Moscow will be moving ahead with the sale of the advanced S-300 anti-aircraft system to Iran, stating that since the system is strictly defensive, the sale does not violate sanctions against Iran. Nevertheless, the sale of such a system would significantly complicate an aerial assault against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The Russians are Reshaim. The anti semitic Kgb still runs the country.
Mr. Prime Minister, don’t hold your breath. The Russians want Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth. I wouldn’t trust them for a single moment.
