Iran promises quick response to any attack

TEHRAN, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Iran Sunday warned Israel against attacking any of its nuclear sites.

The warning in Sunday's Jerusalem Post was in response to a Times of London report that Israel was planning to attack sites Iran claims are being set up for peaceful nuclear power use.

"Anyone who attacks will regret their actions very quickly," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Muhammad Ali Husseini said.

"This step even comes after the Israeli prime minister's admission, which revealed the fact that the Israeli regime has nuclear weapons in its possession," Husseini said, referring to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's mention on German TV that Israel was one of the world's nuclear-equipped nations.

"Now this will convince the international community that the main threat to the world, and to our region in particular, is the Zionist regime," Husseini added.

The Times had quoted military sources saying Israel has two squadrons training to attack an enrichment plant at Natanz, a heavy water plant at Arak and a uranium conversion plant at Isfahan.
