An
Iranian general has said that his country’s enemies will not survive if they
attack Iran’s nuclear sites.
A Friday
report by the semiofficial ISNA news agency quotes Gen. Farzad Esmaili, chief
of air defense, as saying "we vow our enemies will not survive," if
they attack Iran’s nuclear sites.
The
nuclear sites are a symbol of pride for Iran, he said, adding that "we
will defend our dignity with our lives and blood."
The
remarks come a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the
world to draw a clear "red line" to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
Israel
has not ruled out military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Tehran
denies the West’s charge that it is pursuing nuclear weapons. It says its
nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes only.
