Iran warns Israel attack would trigger a thunderous blow
Iran has warned it will strike a "thunderous blow" against Israel in retaliation for any military strikes against its nuclear programme.
In a belligerent speech to mark the death anniversary of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Islamic republic also accused accused the West of telling "lies" against Iran to divert attention from its own economic problems.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme leader denied Iran is developing nuclear weapons."What Americans and Westerners do is idiotic. They magnify the nuclear issue to cover up their own problems - they are deceitfully using the term nuclear weapons," he said in a televised speech.
Suggestions of possible military strikes against Tehran reflected the increased vulnerability felt by Israel and the United States since the fall of ally Hosni Mubarak's regime in Egypt last year, but Iran is ready to retaliate if it attacked.
If Israel made "any mis-step or wrong action, it will fall on their heads like thunder," he said.
