Rate Article:
Egypt's Minister of State for Military Production Sayyed Al-Meshal, said that Iran's military capabilities do not represent any threat to Israel, but represent a definite threat to the Arab countries as Iran has been interfering in the Arab region's affairs.
Meshaal said that Iran's growing military ambitions have increased hostility against tehran by many countries, especially Western powers who wish to stop the Iranian armament. In his comments to the members of the Egyptian Syndicate of Journalists, he said that if Iran was on its way to a nuclear weapons, that poses a great danger to the Iranian nation and to the entire Middle East, pointing out that "if Iran "produces missiles with ranges up to 3000 kilometers, this will force all European countries to take take practical steps to stop the expansion of the Iranian military.
Meshal went on to say that Iran has never fired a single shot at Israel since 1948, pointing out that the Iran backed Lebanese Hizbullah militia has announced, through its secretary general Hassan Nasrallah during the recent Israeli war against the Gaza Strip, that his organization was not a party to that battle, adding that Hizbullah did not use a single rocket against Israel at that time.

If Iran poses a threat to the Middle East, then by definition, it also poses a threat to Israel. Also through statements and actions by it's leader. Hizbollah may not have fired missiles at Israel during the operations in Gaza

> That's just nonsense. If Iran poses a threat to the Middle East, then by definition, it also poses a threat to Israel.
Then you did not understand the statement. What Meshal is saying is that Iran military capabilities is NOT COMPARABLE to israel's military capabilities, and thus does not pose a threat.
But, compared to Arab nations, it can be a threat.
Vietnam has no nuclear weapons, so US attacked,
same with Afganistan, Iraq, so they attacked. but Iran,N.Kore has so they are waiting. Even Iran, N. Kore has nuclear or not they will do it.
ISRAEL IS THE REAL TREAT IN MIDEAST, NOT IRAN.
US AND ISRAEL NEVER SLEEP TO TRY TO SET MUSLIM NATIONS AGAINST EACH OTHER.
More proof that Egypt puppet regime is in pocket of Israel! In fact their own people know this along with rest of the world's people. Go Iran!
That's just nonsense. If Iran poses a threat to the Middle East, then by definition, it also poses a threat to Israel. Also through statements and actions by it's leader. Hizbollah may not have fired missiles at Israel during the operations in Gaza, but there was a war between Israel and Hizbollah in 2006 - and it definitely fired missiles then, and now has rockets (from Iran) aiming at Israel... so therefore, Iran is a threat to Israel.
Why should Israel possess nuclear weapons in violation of the international law", "why should Israel occupy the lands which don't belong to it", "why should Israel repeatedly threaten its neighbors and wage wars against them", "why should Holocaust be used as a pretext to suppress the Palestinian nation?", "why should Iran be deprived of the peaceful uses of nuclear power while the United States, Russia, France, United Kingdom and China have thousands of nuclear weapons?"
Israel "occupies" lands that don't belong to it, because Israel's neighbors declared war against it and lost. Often, a by product of losing a war is losing territory.
Israel "threatens" its neighbors because its neighbors threaten her, and aren't willing to reach a real and long-lasting peace agreement.
The Holocaust is not used as a pretext to suppress anyone. But it does play a role in how things have developed over the course of time.
No one is convinced that Iran wants nuclear power for peaceful purposes, and as a signatory of the NPT, it is breaking rules it has vowed to adhere to.
This Minister sounds like mouth piece of Israel US and UK criminals. These bastard sellout Missry Husni Bastard should be eliminated soon.
