HAVANA, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said he believes a clash between Israel and Iran is looming and that the United Nations and the United States would "have no way to change the course of events."

In an article entitled "On the eve of the tragedy" published on Wednesday, Castro warned that Iran "will not bow to threats from Israel" and will not be resigned to the "unequal treatment" that would result in further sanctions over its nuclear program.

The UN Security Council voted on Wednesday in favor of imposing a new round of sanctions against Iran over its suspect nuclear program.

Castro said the result would be totally different if it were a resolution against Israel, a staunch ally of the United States.

"U.S. and its closest allies would say at once that Israel did not sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and would veto the resolution," he wrote.
