Israel will 'collapse' if it attacks Iran, says general

Tehran, June 24 (ANI): A senior Iranian general has said that Israel will collapse if its attacks Iran.

"The Zionist regime cannot do the least against Iran, but if the regime still considers any military attack against us, then it would cause its own end and collapse," News 24 quoted General Mostafa Izadi, Iran's deputy chief of staff, as saying.

Izadi was referring to the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites after negotiations between Iran and the world powers in Moscow failed.

The two-day talks in Moscow ended without results, not even with the possibility of another round of talks.

The two sides merely agreed to hold a low-level meeting of working groups on July 3 in Istanbul.

Israel has accused Iran of working on a secret nuclear weapons programme, which directly threatens its safety, and has therefore not ruled out military attacks on Iran's nuclear sites.

Iran has several times warned that in case of an Israel attack, the Islamic state would use its medium-range missiles, which, according to Tehran, have a range of 2,000 kilometres and could therefore reach any part of Israel. (ANI)
