Medvedev: "Peres told me Israel won't attack Iran"

Haaretz, here
"... The Russian president described such an attack as "the worst thing that can be imagined." He said Peres made the comment at a meeting in the Russian resort of Sochi in August. .....
Asked about the possible delivery of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, Medvedev said Russia had the right to sell defensive weapons to Iran. He said sanctions are often ineffective and no action should be taken against Iran, except as a last resort...."

Question is will Russia agree to the sanctions which would be a de facto declaration of against Iran.

My guess is No. Russia does not have anything to gain and a lot to lose from facilitating an Iran - US war.

As Gwynne Dyer mentioned in his last piece Obama dropping the missile shield had more to do with A) The missile defence system not really working B) America not really able to afford it.
