Tehran: According to Newsweek, Iranian diplomats have cautioned that American military action against their nation runs the risk of sparking a full-scale conflict. There have been rumours that Washington may have been involved in a recent drone strike on an Iranian military facility.

The Permanent Mission of Iran to the UN told Newsweek on Monday that any use of the military option would result in US involvement in the conflict. The statement said Iran currently views such a possibility as "weak." However, it went on to say that if "the US miscalculates and starts a war," Washington would be responsible for the dire consequences for the region and the rest of the world.

The remarks were made following a Saturday night attack on a building belonging to the Iranian Defense Ministry in the city of Isfahan. The Wall Street Journal and the Jerusalem Post, among other news organisations, claimed that Israel had launched the attack from inside Iran. Three tiny drones allegedly carrying explosive charges were used in the attack.

Although it is suspected of staging a number of sabotage attacks and assassinations of Iranian officials and scientists, Israel typically neither confirms nor denies claims of operations against Iran.

The explosions in Isfahan were initially linked to a US Air Force operation, according to initial Arab media speculation. Later, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said that the strike did not involve any American forces, but he would not elaborate.

In contrast to claims of a major success reported by the Jerusalem Post, Iranian officials refused to place blame on any party and asserted that the attack had only slightly damaged the building's roof.
