The use of force is "unacceptable and useless," said the ministry, slamming an Israeli senior official's threat of the use of force against Iran's nuclear facilities. Political negotiation is the only solution for the Iran nuclear issue, Itar-Tass news agency cited the ministry as saying. Last week, Israeli Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz said that Israel will attack Iran if Tehran continues to pursue its nuclear program in defiance of objections from Israel and the international community. The United States has accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program. Iran has denied the U.S. charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-06/09/content_8335175.htm" target="_top">http://http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-06/09/content_8335175.htm hmm you know this could be bad, if Israel Goes ahead to attack facilities anyways, and Russia sides with Iran and we of course Side with Israel, and Europe sides with us. We could have WW3 on our hands, doubtful it happens but it's entirely possible.

PewPew Posted at 11:23 pm on June 11, 2008 Russia thinks that Nuking Iran is unacceptable, what a silly opinion!

Lepperking Posted at 1:24 am on June 11, 2008 Tbh, Israel stands no chance against Iran without using its nukes. robdude Posted at 1:39 pm on June 10, 2008 Quote: from scalywag66 at 4:37 pm on June 10, 2008 Here's a little interesting fact on Shaul Mofaz's background. From what I've read, he was actually born in Tehran, Iran. This is ironic because this is coming from a person who is essentially threatening his own native country.   what country you are born in means nothing scalywag66 Posted at 1:37 pm on June 10, 2008 Here's a little interesting fact on Shaul Mofaz's background.

They just want hostility and nationism against the Western world because they know it's the only way to motivate their country to actually work. Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
