IRAN's top national security official Hassan Rowhani has said the armed forces are fully prepared for any military attack by the United States, press reports said today.
"Our plans are ready, and although an attack is very unlikely the plans have been approved by the Supreme National Security Council and given to the military forces," Rowhani was quoted as saying.
"We will not react to an attack with diplomacy. We are ready to cut off the aggressor's hand," added Rowhani, secretary of Iran's top national security body.
His comments came against a backdrop of an escalating war of words between Iran and the United States, which has hinted at possible military action over Tehran's nuclear program.
The United States and Israel accuse Iran of using an atomic energy program as a cover for weapons development, a charge the Islamic republic denies.
Let me beat MSM,
Quaqmire
I thought they caught Baghdad Bob. Oh well, nice to see he could find work.
It will probably be the "Mother of all Battles". /sarcasm
Iran is having a difficult time repelling internal attacks as half of the population is under 30 and they are becoming increasing frustrated with the ruling Mullahs.
The plans include a large serving of French whine and a larger white flag.
The mullahs must be taking Kim Jung Il lessons.
Oh dear, thay have a PLAN. What are we to do. :-)
Iran was only able to dent Iraq's invasion because of help she received from Israel. When that help was discontinued, Iran pressed for the conquest of Iraq but failed to do so. Facing a statemate, Iran sued for peace with Iraq.
One step at a time.
Don't threaten too much Iran. You might end up with ink on your finger.
READY to fight doesn't mean ABLE to fight.
