Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman says recent Israeli statements on Iran's nuclear project show Israeli government is frustrated from failure to bring international community to pressure Iran: 'Zionist authorities are well aware that if they make a foolish mistake against Iran, Iran's harsh response will be destructive and determined' Roee Nahmias
An Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, Hamid Riza Asaffi, speaking with journalists in Teheran, said that recent Israeli statements on Iran's nuclear project showed that the Israeli government is frustrated from a failure to bring pressure from the international community to on Iran.
He claimed that a "serious crisis" within the "Zionist authorities" was the main factor behind what he described as Israeli threats. His comments were reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency.
"The Zionist authorities are well aware that if they make a foolish mistake against Iran, Iran's harsh response will be destructive and determined," said the spokesman. "Their approach comes from their anger over the fact that they can't realize their plans," he added.
Earlier, Benjamin Netanyahu told the Voice of Israel national radio network that "Israel must take every necessary step to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran must be prevented from developing this threat to the State of Israel. If, by the elections, the current government works to achieve this, I will give it my full support – and if it does not, I intend on establishing the next government, and then we'll act."
Meretz-Yahad faction head Yossi Beilin said that narrow considerations based on elections will drag Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Netanyahu to harsh comments that will be perceived as support for military action against Iran. Beilin said Israel must work for diplomatic activity to be led by the United States without endangering Israel in a confrontation with Iran with potentially disastrous consequences.

Iran most likely already has at least one nuke. They want to be attacked by Israel and will return the attack by doing what they have always promised...destroying Israel.
Iran is picking a fight, cruising for as brusing, aching for a breaking, they probably won't be satisfied with anything less.

LOL! By all means.
The Jezreel Plain in Israel is the historical Armageddon.
This is not a matter of will, Israel does not have capacity to take on a country with a much larger population and located far away from Israel's borders. Israel is a small country.
indeed , I wonder too....
maybe Shiites are cowards? Afraid to 'act' ?
Witness the trial of Saddam ....this monster goes in & out of
court everyday and not one Shiite seeks to revenge against
this mega butcher of Shiites.
Yup. Pay me now or pay me a lot more later.
