Iran warns it will retaliate if attacked by the US or Israel, as it holds war games to simulate attacks on its nuclear sites.The head of Iran’s air defence said the aim was to thwart aerial reconnaissance of the sites as well as air attacks.

Brig Gen Ahmad Mighani said the training would also improve cooperation among different units.

Iran is under intense pressure over its nuclear programme, which critics say is intended to produce nuclear weapons.

The US and Israel have not ruled out the prospect of a military attack to prevent Iran developing nuclear bombs.

Tehran insists its programme is peaceful, and an aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Iran would retaliate with a missile strike on Israel if attacked.

“If the enemy attacks Iran, our missiles will strike Tel Aviv,” Mojhtaba Zolnoor was quoted as saying by the official Irna news agency.

I don’t understand how we, as the largest nuclear arms holder in the world, can say who can or cannot have nuclear power or weapons.
