[An Nahar] Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that retaliation options in the event Iran was attacked "has no borders and will include the entire globe.""Dat's right! We're a major power! In fact, we're the majorest!"
"We are not worried about any attack and we are ready," Ahmadinejad said in an interview published Tuesday by the Qatari Asharq newspaper.
"Our enemies know how we would react. They are very well aware that Iran would deal a severe and harsh blow," he warned.
Ahmadinejad denied that Hizbullah or any Palestinian faction "take orders from Iran."
Iran, he stressed, "protects and defends" all Palestinian factions and groups that fight Israel.
