Iran says it has missiles to hit Israel

TEHRAN, June 28 (UPI) -- Iranian leaders say they have missiles capable of striking Israel, which will deter an attack.

Israel is believed to be considering an air strike aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear capability.

Major Gen. Mohammad-Ali Jafari said Iran has the capability to repel "any possible attack," Press-TV reported.

"Israel is located entirely within the reach of our missiles," he told the daily newspaper Jam-e Jam. "Our missile power is such that the Zionist regime, despite all its capabilities, would not be able to confront us."

Israel recently staged maneuvers The New York Times described as a dress rehearsal for an air strike on Iran.

Jafari said an attack on Iran would also bring another drastic increase in world oil prices.
