Iran vows 'regrettable' reply to Israel

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Israel and the US against launching a war on Iran, saying the Islamic Republic will give a regrettable response to any strike, Press TV reported.

"They wish to do it, they want to do it, but they know about our power. They know that we are going to give them a decisive response," said President Ahmadinejad in an interview with Russia Today news network on Saturday.

"We have a saying in our language: If someone throws a smaller stone (at you), you should respond with a bigger stone. We will defend ourselves within our capabilities," he added.

However, the Iranian chief executive expressed hope that such a day will never come as there is no reason for any strike against Iran.

President Ahmadinejad emphasized that Israel has been founded for the purpose of making threats and aggression and securing the interests of the West.

He also reiterated that the entity of the "Israeli regime" depends on terror, occupation and aggression.

In the past 60 years, Israel has done the same thing, but finally it will look at the world map and will find out about our historical might, Ahmadinejad concluded.
