Wrapping up his state visit to Russia, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told state officials that Israel is not planning a war with Iran, and statements from Iran to the contrary simply surround Iran�s concerns regarding planned crippling economic sanctions.
Addressing reporters at a press conference, the prime minister stated the statements from Tehran are nothing more than the regular propaganda seeking to portray Israel in a certain light, no different than allegations that Israel is preparing for was with the Syrians.
Labeling his talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as �excellent�, the prime minister added the Russian leader understands the concerns regarding Iran and he seeks stability in the region.
During his visit, Medvedev expressed a willingness to hold off on the sale of the sophisticated S-300 air defense system to Iran as is requested by Israel. Such a system would significantly complicate an aerial assault against Iran�s nuclear facilities.

I disagree with Netanyahu. I don’t think the President of Iran cares one way or the other.
If he can deny the Holocaust this in itself is proof of how dangerous this person is. Economy is one way to stop him.
