Putin to Israel: Iran won’t get a nuclear bomb. No need for an Israeli strike.

The high point of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s noteworthy
90-minute talk with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem
Monday, June 25, was Putin’s firm assertion that Iran will not get a
nuclear bomb.
He also dismissed reports that the third round in Moscow of six-power
talks with Iran (June 18-19) led nowhere, stressing they were serious
and substantial. The next round taking place in Istanbul on July for
technical discussions is, according to the Russian president, of prime
importance. For the first time, he explained, the nuclear negotiations
with Iran will get down to the core issues.
Putin corrected the general impression that Russia has confined itself
to the role of passive bystander in the bargaining with Iran: Quite
the reverse, he said: “Moscow has been proactively working for accord
behind the scenes and its “input” to the process “is considerable.”
The Russian visitor  said, “We [Russians] know more about what is
going on with regard to Iran’s (nuclear) capabilities than the
Americans.”

In conclusion, Putin stressed to Netanyahu that it was unnecessary for
Israel to use military force against Iran’s nuclear program. Israel
knows exactly how much Russia has done to prevent Iran building a
nuclear weapon,”   He stressed, “A nuclear weapon in Iranian hands
would be contrary to Russian interests, and so it will not get one,”
