A senior Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commander warned that Iran's response to any military aggression will make the aggressors to be sorry for their actions, Iran's satellite Press TV reported on Friday.
"Any move against Iran will be interpreted as ushering in war," IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari was quoted as saying.
However, he ruled out the possibility of any attack plans from Iran's enemies, saying the United States and Israel's threat against Iran was a result of their desperation because of miring in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The United States and its allies have accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program. Iran has denied the charges, insisting that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
The Bush administration has said it focuses on diplomacy to try to resolve Iran's nuclear issue, but also proclaims it will take "no option off the table."
Some observers believe it is possible that the United States and Israel would attack Iranian targets for Tehran's suspicious nuclear program.
The New York Times reported recently that U.S. military believed a major military exercise by Israel in early June was a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran's nuclear sites.
Some American officials said the Israeli drill appeared to be an effort to develop the military's capacity to carry out long-range strikes and to demonstrate the seriousness with which Israel views Iran's nuclear program.
