The US War Minister Leon Panetta warned against a military attack on Iran, saying there would be "unintended consequences".

According to AFP, Panetta indicated on Thursday that a strike against Iran would have a "serious impact on the region and it could have a serious impact on US forces in the region".

Panetta's remarks came after "Israeli" threatening rhetoric against Iran, saying it would strike the Iranian nuclear facilities.
Moreover, the US War Minister further said that Washington was holding talks with allies to impose additional sanctions on Iran, after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Previously on Sunday, "Israeli" President Shimon Peres threatened that an "Israeli" attack on Iran is becoming more likely. This also comes amid a campaign led by Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and War Minister Ehud Barak, aiming at persuading the "Israeli" cabinet to carry out a military strike on Iran.

Iran has been strict regarding the aforementioned threats, warning that if any country attacks Iran, it should be ready to receive a firm retaliation.
