Shai derides Israeli threat against Iran

Israeli member of parliament Nachman Shai has reacted with derision to a new threat from Israeli officials to attack Iran in case of the conclusion of what they call a bad deal with the Islamic Republic.

Shai, who is a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said government officials avoid issuing empty threats, according to J-Post.

"Anyone trying to attribute aspirations of an Israeli attack on Iran is not being realistic," Shai said.

Shai admitted that an attack on Iran was beyond the Israeli arsenal by now.
