Retaliation

Iran is posturing itself against the West. Surprise, surprise.

Iran's top nuclear negotiator says Iran will retaliate and accelerate its efforts to develop nuclear technology if attacked by the US or Israel.

Hassan Rohani told Reuters news agency there was nothing the West could do that would persuade Tehran to scrap its nuclear programme.

Both the US and Israel have said it would be unacceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons.

Iran says its nuclear programme will be used to generate electricity.

The US has refused to rule out a military strike on Iran, but has said it will try to resolve the dispute by diplomatic means.

So this article establishes the following:

* An Iranian official has said, on the record, that nothing the West can do will persuade Tehran to stop developing nuclear technology.
* This Iranian official has promised to retaliate (maybe with those ballistic missiles Iran's developing to deliver its secret nuclear weapons?) if they're attacked.

And people think the Mullahs aren't a threat? Welcome to the real world, folks.
