Iran says attack on its nuke facility by Israel unlikely

New Delhi: Iran said on Sunday that it considers any military attack by Israel on its nuclear facilities as 'impossible'.

This comes a day after the US media reported that Israeli military exercises over the eastern Mediterranean were a possible test run for a strike on Iran.

Iran has repeatedly rejected demands to halt enriching uranium, which can be used as fuel for power plants or material for weapons.

The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, Mohammed ElBaradei meanwhile said an attack would put Iran on a "crash course" to building nuclear weapons and would turn the region "into a fireball".
