A senior fellow at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences dismisses hostilities between Iran and Israel in the foreseeable future.
As Viktor Nadein-Rayevsky told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Israel isn’t technically prepared for bombing Iran's nuclear facilities.
“Iran doesn’t possess any nuclear weapon. Ayatollah Khamenei issued a fatwa on inadmissibility of nuclear weapon development, as it contradicts Quran. In this context, I would like to highlight one point: if the Pope banned France from developing nuclear facilities, nobody would heed him. However, fatwas play a vital role in Iran. Besides, nobody has found a plant to generate nuclear facilities in Iran. As for the right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy, any state including Iran can exercise it. Moreover, Israelis themselves don’t believe that their country is subjected to a nuclear attack by Tehran,” Mr. Nadein-Raevsky said, voicing skepticism over Israel to strike Iran without the U.S. backing.
