An Iranian official on Monday warned that a Western attack on Syria could precipitate a response that would disastrously extend to Israel’s nuclear facility in Dimona

“Missile strikes are likely to be inaccurate and could hit the Zionist entity’s chemical factory or its Dimona reactor, causing an unprecendented humanitarian disaster,” said Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Iranian Parliament.

On the Israeli side, Avigdor Liberman, former foreign minister and currently the head of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, told the Russian-language Channel 9 that if Israel is drawn into the conflict, Assad and his colleagues would be “wiped out.”
