Iran says ready for any outside threat
MSNBC News
PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia, Oct. 17 — Iran, under pressure from the United States and others over its nuclear programme, said on Friday it was on its guard against any threat from the outside.
President Mohammad Khatami, having mentioned the possibility of hostilities by the United States or Israel, told a news conference in Malaysia that he did not think Washington would do anything at this time.
''They are not in a position to commit another mistake but at the same time we remain ready, we remain vigilant,'' he said on the sidelines of an Islamic summit. ''I don't think the United States is in a position with the international community to commit this mistake a second or third time.''
