Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected the possibility that Israel or the United States would attack the Islamic Republic. In an interview with al-Jazeera he said that Israel was too weak to handle an offensive in Iran and lacks the courage to carry out such a plan.
The Iranian president also added that the Gulf states will not allow the US to carry out an attack from bases in their territory and that the US has no interest in embarking on a military campaign. (AFP)
