Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a veiled reference to Israel, warned he is prepared to "cut off the hands" of any enemy that attacks the country. "Before the enemies touch the trigger, Iran's armed forces will cut off their hands," he told the government-run news agency after Iran conducted two days of missile tests. One of the exercises included firing a missile that can reach Israel.
Iran also warned that an Israeli attack on its developing nuclear site would promote retaliation against 32 American military bases.
