Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi on Thursday responded to reports
claiming Israel is planning a military attack against his country, stating
Tehran is "ready for war" with Israel.
“We have been hearing threats from Israel for eight years. Our nation is a
united nation…such threats are not new to us,” Salehi told Turkey’s
Hürriyet Daily.

Salehi further warned that if any country would attempt an attack, Iran
would not hesitate to retaliate. "We are very sure of ourselves. We can
defend our country," Salehi claimed.
Salehi’s statements come a day after Iran's chief of staff said Israel
would be severely punished for any attack on Iranian soil.
"We would make them regret such a mistake and would severely punish them,"
Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi told the ISNA news agency on Wednesday.
"In case of an attack by the Zionist regime, the United States would also
be hit," he added, without elaborating.
Britain is also stepping up its preparations for a military strike on Iran,
The Guardian newspaper reported on Wednesday. According to its report,
London is increasingly concerned over Tehran's nuclear program and is
preparing to deploy Royal Navy ships in the coming months to assist a
possible American strike on Iran.
The paper cited senior British officials as saying they believed Iran had
regained the technological capabilities that a cyber-attack damaged last
year. Iran said the Stuxnet worm infected personal computers of employees
at its Bushehr nuclear plant, but not the plant's main systems. The New
York Times reported last January that the worm was a joint Israeli-American
effort to undermine Iran's nuclear program.
