"We believe the Zionist regime is not brave enough to attack Iran," Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying by the Irna news agency.
"The Zionist regime, since its appearance and to this day, brings nothing but a headache, terror and occupation, to the Muslims of the region," Mottaki said at a joint news conference with his Omani counterpart Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, who is on a visit to Iran. "We should beware of such madmen."
