Ex-Mossad chief: Iran’s response to attack, devastating for ’’Israel’’

Former Director of "Israel's" Mossad spy agency Meir Dagan has cautioned against any "Israeli" military measure against Iran, expressing fear that an Iranian response to such a move would be devastating.

Dagan emphasized in an interview with the popular American Sunday news program, CBS's 60 Minutes, that an "Israeli" strike against Iran would lead to a missile attack on "Israel" that would have a "devastating impact" on the ability of "Israelis" to continue with their daily lives, Ha'aretz reported.

He also predicted that any attack on Iran's nuclear installations would initiate a regional war, potentially with no end in sight.

The former "Israeli" spy chief also expressed skepticism over the effectiveness of an "Israeli" attack in halting Iran's nuclear energy program.

The US, the "Israeli" regime and some of their allies have accused Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program, on the basis of which the West imposed sanction against the Islamic Republic.

In its turn, the Islamic Republic has strongly rejected the Western allegations regarding its nuclear energy program, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful objectives.
