Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Iran of an "attack of unprecedented force" if Tehran were to strike Israel amid regional tensions. Netanyahu, addressing the Knesset-- the Israeli Parliament-- said Tel Aviv was "closely" monitoring Iran as it returned to uneasy calm after a wave of protests that drew a bloody crackdown.
"If it makes a mistake and attacks us, we will act with a force it has not yet experienced," Netanyahu said, according to a report by news agency Xinhua.
The Israeli leader said he was "closely" monitoring Iran, warning that "no one can predict what the future holds for Iran, but it will not return to what it once was," implying irreversible consequences for Tehran in any conflict.
