Former Iranian president and current Chairman of the Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said that if the US dares to launch any military attack on Iran it would be regarded as a suicide for that country.
In an exclusive interview with Al-Arabiya TV channels on Friday night, he said the issue is regarded as a psychological warfare. "We are now facing various threats and challenges but we believe that the past experiences should be used in order to dissuade enemies from targeting us. We have always proved that we are capable enough to thwart plots hatched by the enemies," he said.
Based on historical experiences, when bullying powers are trapped in a quagmire they might take illogical measures to save themselves, Rafsanjani said. "I believe that the US and UK and their allies are now experiencing a very tough situation in Iraq and Afghanistan and seek a way out of the crisis," he said.
There is no doubt that such suicidal measures would create problems for both sides but they would be the final loser with their measure leaving devastating consequences for the whole region, he said.
