06/09/2008: "Iran threatens a 'painful response' if Israel attacks"

Iran's official IRNA news agency says the country's defense minister has warned of a "painful response" if Israel attacks Iran.

IRNA said Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar has called Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz threat to attack Iran if it doesn't abandon its nuclear program "foolish."

"If somebody wants to do such a foolish job, the response will be very painful," IRNA quoted Najjar as saying.

[ That should be interesting. Israel should not attack Iran, but almost certainly will. It could start an escalation ending in WWIII. ]
