TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s president says the country’s armed forces will make the enemy regret any act of aggression against Iran.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s remarks came as Iranians on Tuesday marked National Army Day with a military parade.
He did not specify who the enemy is but such language in Iran is a common reference to the West, especially the United States and Israel.
Both the US and Israel have not ruled out a military option against Iran’s nuclear facilities, which the West suspects are geared toward making nuclear arms — a charge Tehran denies.
Iran’s refusal to halt its uranium enrichment program is its main point of contention with the West.
