Iran is considering attacking the World Cup in Qatar to draw attention away from protests in the country that have killed more than 350 people, Israel's intelligence chief has claimed.
Major General Aharon Haliva, the head of Israel's Military Intelligence, warned that Tehran may launch an attack on the football tournament in Qatar to create instability in the region.
Haliva said that the aim would be to draw focus away from nationwide protests in Iran and instead on the fallout from such an attack.
