19/01/2010 Iran's defense minister warned on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic could strike back at Western warships in the Gulf if it were attacked, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
"The Westerners know well that the existence of these warships in the Persian Gulf serve as the best operational targets for Iran if they should want to undertake any military action against Iran," Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said.
Iran's parliament speaker said last week, a day after the assassination of a university scientist, that the country had received early warning days ago that Israeli and U.S. intelligence intended to carry out terrorist acts in Tehran.
