Iran official rules out possibility of US-Israel war against Tehran
Tehran (KNA) - A senior Iranian official has strongly ruled out the possibility of a war against the Islamic Republic given enemies' awareness of Iran's "political strength and its military and security preparedness."
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani made the remarks on Saturday amid some reports about Israel's preparation for military action against Iran with US support.
"As the official in charge of the country's national security body, I am explicitly and confidently announcing that the possibility of a war [against Iran] is ruled out because of enemies' assessment of the Islamic Republic's political strength, its military and security preparedness in domestic and foreign aspects as well as their lack of determination, coherence and operational capability," Shamkhani added.
He also pointed to US President Donald Trump's comments about a landmark nuclear agreement signed between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries in 2015 and said any possible success or failure of the deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which is a political and security agreement endorsed by the United Nations Security Council, would be a "historic test to evaluate the effectiveness of the logic of dialogue instead of conflict."
