Russia warned Israel on Wednesday that attacking Iran would be disastrous and played down the failure of an IAEA's mission to Tehran, saying there is still a chance for new talks over Iran's nuclear program, according to Iran Independent News Service.
"Of course any possible military scenario against Iran will be catastrophic for the region and for the whole system of international relations," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told a news conference, MNA reported.
"I hope Israel understands all these consequences ... and they should also consider the consequences of such action for themselves," Gatilov said.
"I hope a realistic approach will prevail, along with a sensible assessment."
