French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has warned the Israeli regime against attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, saying that such an act of aggression will backfire overwhelmingly on the Tel Aviv regime.
I think that if there were an Israeli attack, unfortunately it could come back to haunt Israel, Fabius said on Monday.
The United States and Israel have repeatedly threatened Iran with a military option in an attempt to force the Islamic Republic to halt its nuclear energy program, which Washington and Tel Aviv claim includes a military component.
Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use the nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Iranian officials have also promised a crushing response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would spread beyond the region.
