It remains unclear how Moscow communicated its message to Israel. Israel and Western nations have long expressed concerns that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program, a claim that Tehran denies.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office indicated that while Israel would heed warnings from the United States—who has also advised against attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities—it would ultimately act in accordance with its own national interests.
