The high costs of a direct military confrontation with Iran have deterred any possible Israeli act of aggression, a top military commander said, citing Tehran's growing regional clout.
"The Israeli regime has believed the Islamic Republic's power and will avoid testing it as it will not be able to manage the confrontation with Iran and its costs," Major General Gholam Ali Rashid was quoted by Fars News Agency as saying on Sunday.
Tensions between Israel and Iran have hit a new high following the unprecedented military clashes inside Syria in February.
