A senior Iranian presidential advisor has warned the US against introducing a new threat to the world by attacking a sovereign state.

“The forces of any government that would attack Iran will no longer have any security in our region or anywhere else,” special advisor to Iran’s president, Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi said in an interview with the Washington Post.

The harsh rhetoric of Washington against Tehran has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George W. Bush leaves office.

Bush and the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen on Wednesday reaffirmed that the use of military force against Iran, either directly by the US or following air strikes by Israel, remained an option.

Samareh Hashemi maintained that although Iran’s main policy is the rule of ‘coexistence, brotherhood, friendship, and peace’ but in case of any attack the country will respond with ‘a decisive answer’.

He advised Washington against introducing Iran as a threat in order to justify its military presence in the Middle East.
