Tehran : Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said on Sunday that Israel is too weak to threaten Iran, the official IRNA news agency reported.
“In case any threat is made against Iran, it will definitely face Iran’s unpredictable response,” Hosseini told reporters at his weekly press conference.
He noted that Israel has raised “such things” many times in order to undermine cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The United States and Israel have voiced their suspicion that Tehran might be developing a nuclear-weapon program under the guise of a civilian-use program.
Iran has insisted that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes and voiced hope for talks on the nuclear standoff. But the Islamic republic rejected a prerequisite of suspending nuclear work for such talks.
