Excerpt

TEHRAN: Iran on Sunday dismissed reports that Israel had been practizing for air strikes against its nuclear program as "psychological operations" but warned of a limitless response to any attack. The New York Times cited US officials Friday as saying that a major Israeli military exercise over Greece earlier this month appeared to be a dry run for a potential strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.

"It seems a series of psychological operations have been taken to intimidate Iran and force it to renounce its absolute and legitimate right" to nuclear power, Fars news agency quoted Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najar as saying.

"But the Islamic Republic will not be intimidated by these threats and will not renounce its right," he added.

Israel and its number one ally, the United States, say they fear Iran could use its uranium-enrichment program to make an atomic weapon, and have never ruled out launching a military strike against it.

"Iran will not begin any conflict but will punish any aggressor with force. With determination and using all the options - without limit in time and space - we will give a destructive response to any hostile action," Najar warned.

His comments came after the UN atomic watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei warned on Saturday that an attack on Iran would turn the region into a "ball of fire."

Israeli MP Tsahi Hanegbi, who chairs the Knesset's powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said Saturday that Western diplomatic efforts to halt Iran's nuclear program had failed and "next year and the year after that will be crucial." - AFP

Even though Israel could be looked at as the favorite at this point my money is on Iran and I'm taking the points.

Anybody else want some of that action?

No way, bro. I'm keeping my shekels in my pocket. Russia is the wild card. The key to all of this: how would Russia react?
