No reason to launch Israeli operation against Iran, Russia says
There was no reason to launch an Israeli operation against Iran, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in comments Friday.
The Iranian nuclear program should not be the subject of aggressive actions, but the subject of negotiations, Zakharova added.
In response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments that the Iranian leader could become a target of Israeli attacks, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "I would like such things to remain at the level of rhetoric. Russia has always stood for ensuring the security of every country without compromising the security of another."

Russia and China are not forming a new world order, but they are "shaping it," Putin said in comments at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Friday.
"The new world order is emerging naturally -- it's like the sun rising, there's no escaping it," Putin added.
