Iran's Zarif says risk of war with Israel is great

MUNICH, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Iran's foreign minister said on Sunday Israel was looking for war and the way Israel and the United States were acting made the prospect of war great.

"Certainly, some people are looking for war ... Israel," Mohammad Javad Zarif said at the Munich Security Conference.

"The risk is great and the risk will be even greater if you continue to turn a blind eye to severe violations of international law," he said, pointing the finger at Israel and the United States. (Reporting by John Irish. Editing by Jane Merriman)
