ARK News: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has accused Israel of "taking the plunge" by carrying out bombardments in Syria and said he could not rule out the possibility of a military conflict between the two countries.

"The presence of Iran in Syria at the invitation of the Assad government,", while Israel violating Lebanese airspace and Syria, in addition to international law, "pointing to" there is a tendency to venture by Israel and the tendency to adventure is always dangerous,” Zarif told the Züddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

When asked whether he sees signs of a military conflict between Iran and Israel, Zarif replied: "No, but I cannot rule out the possibility."

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference last Sunday, Zarif accused Israel of seeking war and warned that its actions and that of the United States increased the likelihood of a clash in the region.
