Medvedev: Israeli strike on Iran to lead to global catastrophe
Moscow, April 12 (Interfax) – Israel may strike on Iran, President Dmitry Medvedev told ABC News.
“I can be sure only of my decisions, but the Israeli government forms its policy independently. I have good relations with the Israeli president and prime minister but they are independent people. I would say they are very stubborn and harsh in many affairs,” he said.
An Israeli strike on Iran “would be the worst option,” Medvedev said. “Firstly, any war means deaths. Secondly, you know what a war in the Middle East can do. The place is so small that no one will stand aside,” he said.
“If a conflict occurs and a strike happens, anything can be expected, including the use of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons used in the Middle East imply a global catastrophe, a huge casualty rate,” Medvedev said.
So basically if Iran is striked [by US or Israel] this could lead to global nuclear war…
Is this a warning? a threat? Or simply an objective analysis?
