TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran's response to a potential attack by arch-enemy Israel would be "swift and destructive," Defense Minister Mustafa Mohammad Najjar said.
"The policy of the Islamic republic of Iran is completely defensive, but if we are attacked, the answer of the armed forces will be swift, firm and destructive," Najjar was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency on Friday.
The defense minister, who was responding to a question about Iran's reaction if its nuclear facilities were attacked, added that "the doomed fate of (Iraqi ex-president) Saddam (Hussein) must be a lesson for officials of the usurping Zionist regime."
