WASHINGTON – "We hear some voices from the Israeli regime about attacking Iran, but I don't think that is going to happen, because first of all, Iran is (strong enough) to defend itself," said Tehran's ambassador to the United Nations. Speaking to National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" on Thursday, Mohammed Khazaee said, "The consequence (of an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities) would be devastating for them (Israel) and maybe for whoever helped them. So I do not believe that such a thing is going to happen. "Our strategy is not to initiate any strike against anybody. But if, God forbidden, someone wants to try any strike against Iran or Iranian nuclear facility or Iranian national interests and security, of course, (Iran) - like any other nation - will have the right to defend (itself)," he told NPR. The ambassador denied any link between Israel's threats and Tehran's willingness to conduct negotiations over its nuclear program with the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany.
