TEHRAN, Iran - Iran has acquired a strong military capability and will deter any attacks against it, Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said.
Shamkhani, speaking Monday at a technology conference, said Iran did not fear the United States, which has already toppled the fundamentalist Taliban in Afghanistan and dictator Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
“We can say we have developed a might that no country can attack us because they do not have accurate information about our military capabilities,” said Shamkhani, whose comments were released Tuesday.
“We have produced equipment at a rapid pace with the minimum investment that has resulted in the greatest deterrent force,” the ministry quoted Shamkhani as saying.
Shamkhani’s defiant stance came the same day President Bush said on NBC’s “Today” show that he wants to resolve a potential nuclear threat from Iran through diplomacy.
