DUBAI: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday he was not worried by Israel's test-firing a ballistic missile and that the Jewish state would never dare attack the Islamic republic.
Israel "does not have the courage to attack Iran," Ahmadinejad said while talking to an Arabic news television during an interview in which he was asked about the long-range ballistic missile Israel said it successfully test-fired earlier Thursday.
"The Zionist entity knows that any aggression on Iran will be met by a violent response," Ahmadinejad said. "The Iranian response will make them regret and they know that," he said.
The Israeli missile test comes days after Israel warned that "all options" were open to prevent archfoe Iran from obtaining atomic weapons. "The Zionist entity will not secure legitimacy through threats," Ahmadinjad said. "They are terrorists, criminals."
Ahmadinejad insisted in the interview that Iran was engaged in a peaceful nuclear energy programme and dismissed warnings by Israel and the United States against Tehran as threats made "for internal consumption."
"We do not take (US, Israeli) threats seriously," he said when asked if he was concerned of a possible military strike against Iran.
Ahmadinejad also slammed US President George W. Bush's latest Middle East tour as a failure and said the US leader had sent a "message of confrontation" during the trip.
