Israel puts up a show of its military might
Israel's statement denying any intention to attack Iran can be treated in two ways, Armenian expert Tadevos Charchyan said.
"First, Israel wants to put up a show of its military might before Tehran. Second, it wants to attract attention of its allies that Iran represents a menace for them as well," he said. "In this respect, the recent statement by Israeli Foreign Minister can be described as a call for stability."
Israel will not attack Iran even if the international sanctions against Tehran fail to convince President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to give up his country's nuclear program, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told the Austrian daily Kleine Zeitung in an interview.
