Iran will respond “powerfully” to any attack by the US and Israel, said Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said Thursday.
“The enemies, especially the United States and the Zionist regime (of Israel) should know that Iran does not aggress any country, but will respond to any aggression (on the Islamic Republic) and even to any threats (to the country) powerfully,” the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Khamenei as saying while addressing Iranian army students.
“Anybody who may think of aggression on the Islamic republic should make itself ready to receive strong slaps and iron fists from the Iranian Army, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, (the voluntary forces of) Basij and in one word, from the great Iranian nation,” he said, Xinhua reported.
Khamenei called on Iran’s armed forces to be prepared to defend the country.
Khamenei’s remarks came amid reports that the western countries and Israel may launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities after the IAEA’s latest report accused Tehran of engaging in activities related to the development of nuclear weapons.
According to the IAEA report, Iran continued its nuclear weapons research and technology development evven after 2003, when it declared a halt in its nuclear programme. It states that Iran had temporarily frozen nuclear activities, but that there was evidence the programme continued to be carried out at a more modest pace.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called IAEA head Yukiya Amano a US puppet.
