Iran warns Israel not to attack nuclear sites

Iran's parliament speaker warned Israel on Tuesday against a possible attack on the country's nuclear facilities, Iranian state television reported.

"Iran will respond in a way that they will not be able to sleep easy anymore," Ali Larijani was quoted as saying.

Larijani made the remark at a meeting of top prosecutors from Islamic countries, who are trying to find ways to arrange for the arrest and prosecution of Israeli leaders on war crimes charges over the offensive against Hamas in Gaza earlier this year.

Last week, President Shimon Peres dismissed the idea that Israel was planning an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Israel, the United States and other western nations believe that Iran's nuclear program is aimed at covertly developing atomic weapons.

Iran, the world's fourth largest oil producer, insists that the program is for civilian purposes only.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said Holocaust deniers would not be permitted to repeat a genocide against Jews. He was speaking in reference to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
