PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran's military chief warned Wednesday, November 2,
that an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear development sites will come
at a heavy price, Haaretz reported citing the Iranian ISNA news agency.
Responding to reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been
trying to gain a majority in the cabinet for an attack on Iran, the
chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of Iran's armed forces, Hassan
Firouzabadi, warned both Israel and the U.S. against such a move.
"The U.S. officials know that the Zionist regime's military attack
against Iran will inflict heavy damages to the U.S. seriously as well
as the Zionist regime," ISNA quoted Firouzabadi as saying.
Haaretz reported Wednesday that Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud
Barak have been trying to push for an Israeli attack on Iran in the
cabinet. They recently persuaded Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman,
who previously objected to attacking Iran, to support such a move.
Senior ministers and diplomats said the International Atomic Energy
Agency's report, due to be released on November 8, will have a decisive
effect on the decisions Israel makes.
