Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that neither Israel nor its bosses dare to attack Iran. He made the remark in an interview with the Madrid-based El Mundo, which was published on Wednesday.

 

The Iranian leader said that Israel is well aware of the power of the Iranian people, adding that therefore, the Zionist regime and its bosses will never dare to embark on such a foolish measure and invade Iran.

 

"I believe that it is time for big powers to change their stance on international and Middle East developments," said the Iranian president.

 

Concerning Israel, the president told El Mundo, "All Middle East nations hate the Zionist regime, given that it is a dictator and totalitarian regional regime." Ahmadinejad also defended his status on Holocaust, saying that "if Holocaust existed, where did it take place?"


"We are not looking for war, clashes and hatred rather we are seeking to solve the issue of the Zionist regime, which is the origin of enmity," he added.
