    Israeli minister rejects foreign warnings on Iran

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's foreign minister says the Jewish state will not bow to foreign pressure in deciding whether to attack Iran.

    In an interview Wednesday with Israeli Channel 2 TV News, Avigdor Lieberman rebuffed suggestions that American and Russian warnings against striking Iran would affect Israeli decision making, saying the decision "is not their business."

    He said "the security of the citizens of Israel, the future of the state of Israel, this is the Israeli government's responsibility."

    Israel fears Iran is developing a nuclear bomb, which Tehran denies.

    Israel has sent a series of hints that it may attack Iran's nuclear program.

    The U.S. and others believe tough economic sanctions must be given time to work. This week, the U.S. military chief said an Israeli attack would be "not prudent."

      Please stop all these non-stories about Iran. Every tiny detail is being squeezed just so that there are constant headlines which make it seem as if Iran were really going to bomb everybody in sight any day now. This is pure, unabashed pro-Israel propaganda and not worth another thought.

        well said!!!

        Yes, it is frightening to see so many articles with headlines suggesting that Iran is going to attack Israel and the United States. It is not even conjecture, just blah-blah-blah, just an excuse to keep the subject hot enough to cause alarm and panic.
      • Rich 3 mths ago
        Actually, Dzvinka, it IS worth another thought, as it shows us just how completely the Zionists control the American media and thus American opinion. Their "stories" are pure garbage, of course, as are they themselves; but that doesn't stop millions of idiots from believing them.
    • Whatever  •  3 mths ago
      Funny headline! You have more chance of winning the lottery than finding a headline on Israel with the words "Accept & Warnings".
      • Cringle 3 mths ago
        F israel........you probably wont see that headline anywhere but here on Yahoo, Thank You Yahoo, even if you are a jewish owned corporation.
    • Honey Badger  •  3 mths ago
      Har, har, Israel, how about not accepting foreign aid if you are so hellbent on destroying what is left of the Middle East? You have caused enough chaos and destruction and misery, time to flee, run back like little bunnies, back to your homelands in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, the Americas. Run, run, grab those passports and run!

        They are having second thoughts about SAFE HAVENS. Too many are questioning whether the non-Hebrew Ashkenazi Jews are White or Semite. It has been arranged that dual-citizenship is allowed, but dual Race membership is not net widely accepted. It is a problem when you can run, but you cannot hide.

      if nukes start flying, I hope that the first hits the country that started it
      • WildBillCody 3 mths ago
        Yeh, Iran needs it.
      • Supream1 3 mths ago
        Please stop with the nukes already there will be no nuke attack on anyone
    • wateroffaducksback!  •  2 mths ago
      I'll take Israel !!!!! You take Iran and we'll see who wins !!!! Stick with your friends like Israel !
    • Albert Cañete  •  Iloilo City, Philippines  •  3 mths ago
      Its very clear now that Israel is the one planning to create a war not Iran due to the fact that even other countries are telling them not to attack Iran but it seems they are persuaded and determined to bomb Iran is it a good behavior and plan of Israel to attack its nieghbor like Iran? What about if things will be reverse will they like it also to be bombed?
      • Boudicca 3 mths ago
        exactly
      • olivia 3 mths ago
        It might be clear to you that Israel is planning a war.......but the opposite is just as clear to me and most non-muslims. They are the ones constantly being threatened by Iran, not the other way around. Look at this logically: why would Israel want a war with Iran? It makes no sense. And if that were their intention, they would not be ''advertizing'' it, now, would they? That would make no sense, either. They would just attack when they were good and ready, instead of warning Iran first.
      • Dzvinka 3 mths ago
        So how many wars has Iran started in modern history?
    • Boudicca  •  3 mths ago
      Maybe...this is a way of driving up oil prices, so that certain "people" get richer

      Avigdor, since BILLIONS of US TAXPAYER dollars are sent to your happy little country every year, it is in fact OUR business. Stop cashing OUR checks and you can feel free to do anything you want to. Just don't call us to clean up your mess again.
    • Moonfish  •  3 mths ago
      I agree with the posters who accuse the press of exaggerating the situation and of printing endless articles on what is not happening. Lieberman makes a sneeze that sounds like "Iran!" and that is reported. What next? Bibi had a dream that Iranian nukes were landing in Tel Aviv? Enough, stop whipping the world up into a frenzy based on nothing.

      Well if it isn't our business, how about if we take the $3billion we give you annual and use it to reduce our debt? Thanks for not Israel fools.
    • Boudicca  •  3 mths ago
      Israel obviously slobbering for WW3~~dangerous and stupid.

    • Boudicca  •  3 mths ago
      Enough frickin propaganda Israel, we are NOT interested in, nor can we afford, the WW3 you're obviously slobbering for. Get a life and leave Iran (and the USA) alone.

      A-jhad never said anything about '[nuking] israel'... "Wipe off the map":
      a) was never said by him; it was an IRNA headline written by a journalist to succinctly put his belief that israeli boundaries would be redrawn if their misbehaving keeps on (land stealing; refusing voter-participation of much the population; prosecuting a holocaust worse than Hitler's); each lasting over 15x the duration of the Nazi's wrath (60+ years!!!).
      b) "Wipe off the map" doesn't mean in Farsi the colloquialism it means in America ("total destruction")... it meant, QUITE LITERALLY a redrawing of the map/ gerrymandering... like dry marker is redrawn after being 'wiped' from a whiteboard. If you were French, and read in the Washington Post "Cowboys Kill Redskins at home"... you'd be agast until explained it's just an American colloquiallism/ not what you think... not what they keep telling you.
      c) 16 intelligence agencies (and yes, the CIA too) told Adolf Bushler, Darth Cheney, & ByeBye Netsuponyou... but AIPAC, XOM, FLR, LMT, NOC, BA, HAL, KBR, GS, JPM, FIXd News, and the rest of the neocon repuke warmonger trash kept/ keep it from you.
      d) the only reason Jews exist is b/c Persians have been protecting them for the last 2,500 years. Oh, and b/t/w... Iran is a 4,800 yr. old CULTURE; israel is merely a 65 yr. old offshore bank & terrorist group who profit from causing others to fight amongst themselves, or have others fight to defend their stolen gold & looted global pension funds via naked shortselling (since 1948).
      e) Really people!?... you think Iran's going to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and kill all the Palestinians?
      f) Have you forgotten our scum bag Israeli-owned Congress, Supreme Court, WH, and mass media have ruined the USA... forcing Fake wars, paid with Fake money, on behalf of/ to Fake jews (who won't put a single soldier in conflicts they need 'defending' from)???
    • Μολὼν λαβέ  •  3 mths ago
      Sure, Avigdor, big talk from a bouncer thug. Take on Iran all by yourself and just shut up, Moldovan immigrant. Silvan Shalom, another blustering minister, has been whining to Ban Ki-Moon that Iran wants to restore the Persian Empire, you remember, the one that Megas Alexandros whipped. Always stirring up trouble, hoping to get the Muslims to fight one another while Israel sits back and laughs.
    • Boudicca  •  3 mths ago
      I feel sure that Iran has ZERO intention of attacking anyone, unless they attack Iran first~~~however, enough goading and provoking and attacking and assassinations, and who knows? Everyone, even Iran, has a right to defend itself. Sad that many think it should take any mistreatment without any protest. Slightly irrational of them, no?
    • Abe  •  3 mths ago
      If Israel goes it alone and bombs Iran, will they also have their land forces invade and occupy Iran?
    • Boudicca  •  3 mths ago
      *WW3*
    • JOHND  •  Gig Harbor, Washington  •  2 mths ago
      Israel doesn't worry about any USA repercussions related to their potential bombing of Iran, such as shutting off economic aid because the Jewish lobby owns the congress. I have heard lots of talk about cutting funding to Medicare, and to SSI due to our debt crisis but never hear a peep about cutting funding to Israel....
