TEHRAN (ISNA)-Advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Yahya Rahim Safavi said Saturday the US and Zionist regime do not dare to attack Iran.

The probability of the US or Zionist regime attack on Iran is not that much, he said adding, “they have the potential to invade Iran, but they do not dare to take a political decision on the issue.”

He reaffirmed that, “Iranian army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are fully prepared and enemies are aware of that, they do not have the power to take a political decision on the issue, because they know they can start the war but are not able to finish it.”

He added, “both the US and Zionist regime face internal problems and they know that we make many troubles for them if they attack Iranian territory.”

Safavi went on to say that the probable war against Iran is waged from the sea or the air, adding that, “we need to be fully vigilant of these attacks, the enemy knows that it will regret if launches a land strike against Iran.”

“American officials have presented a measure to the Congress to omit land war strategy.”

Safavi continued, Islamic Republic of Iran acts powerfully in Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, “we are very serious to defend our interests.”

Meanwhile concerning a question on a military conflict between Iran and neighboring countries, he said, “the strategy of Islamic Republic of Iran is a defensive one and we resist against anyone who attacks the country.”

Also regarding the issue of breach of 1975 Algiers Accord concluded between Iran and Iraq, Safavi said, “the hanged Iraqi President Saddam Hossein in his latest letter to Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (who now heads Expediency Council), reiterated that he had admitted all aspects of the accord.

“No one can violate these treaties since they are recorded internationally,” Safavi noted.
