Russia says strike on Iran would be 'catastrophe'
• The Time of IndiaMOSCOW: Russia on Wednesday warned that a military strike on Iran would be a
"catastrophe" with the severest consequences which risked inflaming
existing tensions between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
"As for the chances of this catastrophe happening, you would have to ask those constantly mentioning it as an option that remains on the table," foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said when asked on the chances of military action.
Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak earlier said in Jerusalem on Wednesday that his country was not even close to deciding to attack Iran and believed that a military option remained "very far away".
