Iran's President Mohammad Khatami Thursday warned that Iran would unleash hell if attacked. "If, God forbids, any aggressor puts its foot on this land, Iran will turn into a burning hell for them," he told thousands of demonstrators who had gathered at a famous square to mark the 26th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.                               

 

"The Iranian nation is not after a war, violence or clashes, but  the world must know that the Iranians will not tolerate any invasion," Khatami said, to the chants of 'Death to America' and Death to 'Israel'. 


According to IRNA, Khatami branded US threats as part of a 'psychological warfare',  being waged in accordance with the 'expansionist policies of the  American conservatives'.                                             

 

The president also denounced 'the slanders of the American rulers against the Iranian nation and the establishment', saying they were  aimed at 'putting a cover on the failures of the extremist US policy'.
