President Ahmadinejad: Iran will cut off the hands of those who might attack

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says his country will retaliate with full might against anyone who attacks it.

He says the Iranian "armed forces will cut the hand of anyone in the world before it pulls the trigger against the Iranian nation."

Iran's archenemy "Israel" has said it is keeping all options - including the military one - on the table against Iran.

Ahmadinejad spoke at a military parade marking the anniversary of the start of the 1980-1988 Iraq-Iran war. His comment, although typical for Ahmadinejad, reflects Iranian concerns it could be targeted because of its nuclear facilities.
