Ahmadinejad: Everyone knows what will happen to Israel if it attacks Iran

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed he is not worried about an Israeli strike on Iran.

In an interview with TV station France 24, Ahmadinejad said “everyone knows” what will happen to Israel if it attacks.

The Iranian president also said his country has a right, based on international law, to enrich uranium to 20 percent.

Speaking at the Institute for National Security Studies conference in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that the Islamic Republic continues undeterred in its pursuit of nuclear weapons, and that Israel cannot afford to depend on the world to impede the Iranian regime.

According to Israeli assessments, only a complete halt to all uranium enrichment can guarantee that the Iran will not eventually build nuclear weapons, Barak said.
