Iranian Deputy Chief of armed forces warned on Wednesday that any attack by Israel would bring "destruction" of the Zionist entity and that Iran's response would “not be limited to the Middle East”.

Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri stressed that the Israeli nuclear site of Dimona was "the most accessible" target, and that "our response would not be limited to the Middle East," the General told the Iranian Arabic-language channel Al-Alam.

"The smallest action by Israel (against Iran) and we will see its destruction," he said.
Jazayeri was quoted as saying that Iran "has plans ready for retaliation in case of attack."

The comments followed a warning by Israeli President Shimon Peres last weekend that an attack on Iran was becoming "more and more likely."

Israeli media last week issued several reports speculating that the Israeli government was seriously considering an attack on Iranian nuclear sites, but that a decision had not yet been made.
