JERUSALEM, April 7, (Agencies): An Israeli government minister warned on Monday that Israel would respond to any Iranian attack by destroying that country, public radio reported. “An Iranian attack against Israel would trigger a tough reaction that would lead to the destruction of the Iranian nation,” National Infrastruc-ture Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer said in remarks of rare virulence. “Iranians are aware of our strength but continue to provoke us by arming their Syrian allies and Hezbollah,” he said during a meeting at his ministry. Ben-Eliezer, a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s security cabinet, stressed however that the Iranians were unlikely to attack as “they understand the meaning of such an act.”
Last month, Defence Minister Ehud Barak told visiting US Vice- President Dick Cheney that “no option” would be ruled out in Israel’s bid to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Ben-Eliezer also stressed that an ongoing five-day home front defence exercise was not meant to threaten Israel’s neighbours, but stressed that “the scenarios considered in the exercise could be reality tomorrow.” Iran on Monday ruled out halting or limiting sensitive nuclear work in exchange for trade and other incentives from major powers and instead suggested it may announce new developments in the programme this week. Iran marks its National Day of Nuclear Technology on April 8, an occasion President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used last year to proclaim industrial uranium enrichment capacity.
