US attack on Iran may result in nuclear conflict - Castro

Any US attack on Iran may result in a nuclear war, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said, RIA Novosti reports.

Castro, 83, was speaking on national TV in a new political show "Round Table".
Castro said Washington was mistaken if it thought the Iranian people would not resist a US attack.

He also pointed out Iran's military potential and its purchase of Chinese and Russian weapons.

He also touched upon the North Korean issue, saying direct military conflict in this region may also cause a nuclear war.
