Tehran on Monday dismissed as thoughtless comments by a
top US general that Iran’s atomic sites could be attacked if the
nuclear issue remains unsolved, the official IRNA news agency reported.
“His comments are thoughtless and it is better that any
statement made in this regard take a constructive approach,”
foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted as saying.
General David Petraeus, head of US Central Command (CENTCOM) that
oversees the Middle East, told CNN on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear
facilities “certainly can be bombed,” even though they are
reported to be heavily fortified.
“The level of effect would vary with who it is that carries it
out, what ordnance they have, and what capability they can bring to
bear,” Petraeus added.
