Israel "will dig its own grave" if it attacks Iranian nuclear sites, the head of the Iranian air force General Seyed Reza Pardis told a news agency close to members of the Islamic republic's regime.

"The threats of the Zionist regime hold no value for us," Pardis was quoted as saying by Mehr news agency in reaction to statements issued recently by Israeli Defence Minister Saul Mofaz.

"The (Zionist) regime knows that the armed forces of the Islamic republic, in particular our air force, have such high capabilities...that it would be digging its own grave in the region if it launches military attacks against Iran," Pardis made clear. (Albawaba.com)
