Any action against Iran will speed up Israel’s collapse: Iran`s ambassador

TEHRAN, Nov. 13 (MNA) – Tehran’s Ambassador to Rome Seyyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini said that any action against Iran by Tel Aviv not only will be met with a strong and immediate reaction, but will also speed up the Zionist regime's collapse. Israel and the U.S. have threatened to use military strike against Iran for its nuclear program which is under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The ambassador said Israel is “weaker than ever” to be able to attack Iran. He added Israel’s allies are “not also in a better situation” and they are facing economic, domestic, regional, and international problems. In regard to their failures in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan it is very unlikely that they would put themselves in a “quagmire” much more dangerous that that they have ever seen, the former Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said. IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano released a report on Iran's nuclear activities on Tuesday, in which it was claimed that Iran appears to have worked on designing an atomic bomb. "The result of political pressure imposed by the United States and some other Western countries is completely clear in the IAEA director general's recent report,” Hosseini told the Italian news agency ANSA. Hosseini said unlike the agency's regulations, the report was prepared in an “unprofessional, unlawful and political manner” and this has “damaged the credibility of the agency as an international organization." “As it has been announced repeatedly by the most senior Iranian officials, Iran has forbidden development, proliferation and utilization of nuclear weapons and has called for trial and punishment of the owners of such ‘inhumane’ weapons," the diplomat explained. He added numerous inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency “have confirmed that Iran’s nuclear activities have never been diverted” to a weapons program. Asked if more sanctions will be imposed on Iran, Hosseini said 32 years ago, immediately after the regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was toppled and the Islamic system was established in Iran, the United States introduced sanctions against the Iranian nation, however, Iran has taken advantages of three decades of sanctions and “we have succeeded to turn sanctions into opportunity”.
