Israeli threats of war do not faze Iran : Iranian FM spokesman

TEHRAN,Aug.15(MNA)--On reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak advocate an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities in the upcoming fall, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said the Zionist regime issues threats of military action against Iran because it is experiencing internal problems. “Even if there is someone among the officials of this fake regime that intends to make such an unwise move, I do not think that he will be allowed… to make such a great mistake because they (the Zionists) will face severe consequences of such actions,” he noted. He also stated that such “worthless” and “unfounded” remarks are of no account to us. The Foreign Ministry spokesman also replied to a question about the fact that Manhattan Federal Magistrate Judge Frank Maas on July 31 ordered Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Iran to pay $6 billion to survivors and relatives of 47 victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. Mehmanparast said that such rulings usually cannot be upheld and are of no significance in international relations.
