TEHRAN, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Iranian President Mohammed Khatami warned Thursday on the 26th anniversary of Iran's Islamic revolution his country will be hell for aggressors.

The Iranian News Agency, IRNA, quoted Khatami as saying: "The big noise made by the U.S. administration against the Islamic Republic of Iran is aimed at covering up the failure of America's extreme policies."

"If any enemy or aggressor sets foot on this land, the whole of Iran will turn into hell for them," Khatami warned.

He stressed the Iranian people "will defend their national and Islamic values although we are not advocates of war and conflict, but let the whole world be aware that we will not tolerate any aggression."
