TEHRAN (FNA)- A prominent Iranian legislator blasted Washington's war
rhetoric against Tehran, and said the country will make the entire world
insecure for American forces if attacked by the US.

If the US seeks adventurism against Iran, the country "will make the world
insecure for the Americans in the least possible time and all the US
military men will be forced to leave the Middle-East region to save their
lives", Vice-Chairman of the parliament's National Security and Foreign
Policy Commission Jahangir Kosari told FNA on Monday.

"Of course in case of military aggression and conflict, Iran will not allow
the American military men to escape; therefore, it is to the benefit of the
US to accept the powerful Iran and avoid military adventurism," he added.

Israel and its close ally the United States have recently intensified their
war rhetoric against Iran. The two arch foes of the Islamic Republic accuse
Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon, while they have never presented any
corroborative document to substantiate their allegations. Both Washington
and Tel Aviv possess advanced weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear
warheads.

Iran vehemently denies the charges, insisting that its nuclear program is
for peaceful purposes only. Tehran stresses that the country has always
pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian
population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.

Iran has, in return, warned that it would target Israel and its worldwide
interests in case it comes under attack by the Tel Aviv.

The United States has long stressed that military action is a main option
for the White House to deter Iran's progress in the field of nuclear
technology.

Iran has warned that in case of an attack by either the US or Israel, it
will target 32 American bases in the Middle East and close the strategic
Strait of Hormuz.

An estimated 40 percent of the world's oil supply passes through the
waterway.
