Israel is too vulnerable to think of Iran attack, government spokesman, Gholam-Hossein Elham, said on Saturday.

He made the remarks commenting on a recent statement made by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France in Syria who had said Iran was at risk of being attacked by Israel.

Speaking to reporters at his weekly press conference, Elham said statements such as what was made by President Sarkozy had rooted from "weakness."

"Such remarks prove the Israeli war-mongering and terrorist nature which uses every chance to pose threat to the global security," said the spokesman.

He added that the Islamic Iran is a powerful country moving through the path of justice, righteousness, peace and security.

"No one can threaten such peace-loving and humanitarian system," Elham said in reference to former statements made by Iranian senior military officials that Iran will demolish Israel in case of any attack.

Tensions have been high for some time after Israel expressed alarm over the possibility of Iran becoming a nuclear power.
