“Israel” too weak to dare strike Iran: Defense Minister
Local Editor
Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Hussein Dehqan has ridiculed at "Israel's" warmongering threats against the Islamic Republic, saying the "Israeli" regime is "too weak to dare make such a brazen move."
""Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's recent aggressive reaction and warmongering remarks shows the Islamic Republic of Iran's political success and influence in the international arena," Dehqan said on Friday.
Addressing the United Nations General Assembly session on Tuesday, Netanyahu threatened unilateral military action against Iran to dismantle the Islamic Republic's civilian nuclear facilities.
He repeated his baseless accusation that Tehran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons, saying, "If "Israel" is forced to stand alone, "Israel" will stand alone."
The majority of the American people favor dialog with Iran rather than military action, said Iran's defense chief.
A recent national poll in the United States shows that 75 percent of Americans favor direct diplomatic negotiations with Iran over the country's nuclear energy program.
Dehqan said Iran's stance on the standoff over its nuclear energy program is completely logical, transparent and in keeping with international laws and regulations.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran ... believes that with a willing opposite side it is possible to gain good results and achievements which will serve our interests and allay the unwarranted concerns of the other side in order to resolve the nuclear issue within the framework of relevant laws and regulations regardless of political hue and cry and objectives," Dehqan pointed out.
