Iranian defense minister: Israel too weak to attack
Israel has raised the claim of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran mostly to cover up its weak points and harsh domestic crises,' Mostafa Mohammad Najjar says
Israel is too weak and vulnerable to attack Iran, Defense Minister Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad Najjar was quoted by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) as saying Thursday.
"Israel has raised the claim of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran mostly to cover up its weak points and harsh domestic crises," Najjar said, adding that "the Israelis have made the claims on the 60th anniversary of their establishment to divert public opinion from broad corruption and weakness of Israeli officials."
Turning his attention to Lebanon, the Iranian defense minister said the country's destiny is important for the world of Islam.
According to IRNA, Najjar said Iran supports a "united, safe and broad-based Lebanon in which all parties and groups are cooperating with each other.
"Any foreign intervention will be harmful to the interests of the Lebanese and serve the enemy wishes," he was quoted as saying.
