Any Israeli attack will be seen as US attack: Iran
New York (PTI): Symbolising Israel as a signature mark of the United States in the middle east, Iran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki has said that any offensive action by Tel Aviv would be seen as an attack by Washington.
Iran does not believe that Israelis or Americans will attack its nuclear facilities but any attack by Tel Aviv would be considered an attack by Washington, Mottaki said.
"In the Middle East, (no one) makes a distinction between the US and Israel," the minister told Newsweek in an interview.
Asked why his country is calling for wiping out Israel from the map of the earth, Mottaki said Tehran does not recognise Israel.
Reiterating to continue its uranium enrichment programme, he said "What we are doing is completely legal," emphasising that negotiations are the only way to arrive at mutually acceptable solution to the issue.
