Qassem: Israeli attack on Iran could ignite Mideast
Violence could spread across the Middle East with Israel paying a “heavy price” if it launched military action against Iran, the deputy leader of Hizbullah said .
“Israel or the United States cannot just bomb Iran and [expect] things to continue normally,” Sheikh Naim Qassem told Reuters. “Any attack on Iran could ignite the whole region and the assailant will pay a heavy price whether its Israel or the United States.”
Qassem said any countries which allowed an attack on Iran to be launched from US bases on their territory would also face reprisals.
He refused to discuss details of Hizbullah’s role in responding to any attack on Iran.
