Iran's attack on Israel willl be of “devastating impact”

12 March 2012 [18:43] - TODAY.AZ
Former Director of Israel's Mossad spy agency Meir Dagan has cautioned against any Israeli military measure against Iran, expressing fear that an Iranian response to such a move would be devastating.

Dagan emphasized in an interview with the popular American Sunday news program, CBS’s 60 Minutes, that an Israeli strike against Iran would lead to a missile attack on Israel that would have a “devastating impact” on the ability of Israelis to continue with their daily lives, Ha’aretz reported.

He also predicted that any attack on Iran’s nuclear installations would initiate a regional war, potentially with no end in sight.

The former Israeli spy chief also expressed skepticism over the effectiveness of an Israeli attack in halting Iran’s nuclear energy program.

The ex-Mossad chief also reiterated that Iran has “dozens” of fortified nuclear energy sites and reaching all such targets would be nearly impossible.
