Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi responded Thursday to reports claiming "Israel" is planning a military attack against his country, stating that 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.


Warning that if any country would attempt an attack, Iran would not hesitate to retaliate, the Iranian official stressed that the "Iranian nation is very sure of itself."

"We can defend our country," Salehi emphasized.

Salehi's statements come a day after Iran's chief of staff Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi 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 Firouzabadi announced.


"In case of an attack by the Zionist regime, the United States would also be hit," he added.
