A former KGB general and Russian prime minister says a war on Iran would produce a question mark over the Republican Party's sanity.

In a televised interview on Monday, Yevgeny Primakov downplayed the prospects of a US- or Israeli-waged war on Iran over its nuclear program.

"I doubt Republicans would commit themselves to such an imprudent measure," said Primakov.

His remarks come shortly after Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak claimed on Friday that 'Iran continues to try to build a nuclear weapon'.

"We don't rule out any option. We recommend others don't rule out any option either," added Barak referring to US president-elect Barack Obama's plans to engage Iran with direct diplomacy over the country's nuclear program.

Tehran, a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), denies the Israeli claim, insisting that its enrichment program is solely directed at the civilian applications of the technology.

An unnamed senior European Union diplomat revealed last week that the bloc is concerned with Tel Aviv's contention that the use of military force is a legitimate option in retarding Iran's nuclear progress.

"Israelis would consider a move such as this before Bush and Cheney leave," said the EU diplomat, adding that once Obama takes office, Israel's chances of striking Iran would become meager.

Russia supports negotiations between Iran and the West in order to peacefully resolve the nuclear dispute.

Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said in mid-October that Moscow would maintain its support for Iran if the country continues on a logical path regarding its nuclear program.

In the Monday interview, Primakov said the Republicans - who have often supported Israel's claims and plans against Iran - should be written a 'medical prescription' if they agree to a war on the oil-rich Middle Eastern country.
