TEHRAN,Feb.13(MNA) --During an interview with the Washington-based radio network NPR on February 9, Iranian ambassador to the United Nations Mohammad Khazaii commented on the Zionist regime’s threats of military action against Iran, saying it seems that they will not carry out their threats. The consequences would be “devastating” for Israel and maybe for whoever helps them, he added.

He also said that Iran’s nuclear program does not have military dimensions and that the proposal for the establishment of a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the Middle East was first made by the Islamic Republic.
