Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer says the financial system of the Israeli regime is preparing for “a major crisis and for [the] security situation” that Tel Aviv may face following an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
“The primary responsibility of each country is to maintain its security. It is possible to describe situations of widespread war which would be very difficult to deal with. We are preparing for a major crisis and for security situation which is much worse,” Fischer said in an interview with Channel 2 News on Friday.
Earlier, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi warned that any military adventurism by the Israeli regime against Tehran would mean self-destruction for the Tel Aviv regime.
“The Zionist regime (Israel) knows that attacking Iran is an unattainable wish, unless the regime seeks to commit suicide,” Vahidi said on August 5.
Washington and Tel Aviv have repeatedly threatened Tehran with a military strike to force it to halt its nuclear energy program, claimed by the duo to have been directed towards the acquisition of military nuclear capability.
Tehran, however, refutes such allegations as “baseless” and maintains that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency it has every right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Iranian officials have also promised a crushing response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East.
