Iran would use nuclear weapon only if attacked, says Israeli expert

AUDIO Iran unlikely to use nuclear weapon unless it is attacked – Israeli expert March 03, 2012  http://news.am/eng/news/95743.html YEREVAN. – Iran is unlikely to use nuclear weapon if it had it, Israeli expert Vanessa Seyman told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“You can see a lot of things about the Iranian leadership but they are not stupid. The strength of having a nuclear weapon is much stronger than using it. They will use it only if they are attacked,” said Seyman, head of training and R&D at Israeli NEST Consulting center. The expert considers that the situation over Iran resembles Cold War between U.S. and USSR.

“It is more a psychological war than an actual weapon war,” she emphasized. Speaking about the Iranian nuclear problem in the context of the Middle East processes, Seyman said the Iranian issue is much bigger than only the Middle East. “Right now the most important thing is to keep the international efforts in order to prevent Iran from getting obtaining nuclear weapon,” she added.
