 Associated Press - Iran warned on Sunday of a "crushing" response if its nuclear and military facilities were attacked by the U.S. or Israel.
Top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said, however, that talk of such an attack most likely was "psychological warfare."
"Iran has prepared itself ... they will get a crushing response if they
make such a mistake," Larijani said on state-run television late
Sunday.

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
issued a new diatribe against archfoe Israel, saying that the Jewish
state was "anti-Islamic in nature" and the result of European "ethnic
cleansing."
"In fact the Europeans have practiced ethnic cleansing against the Jews
in Europe by expelling the Jews from all the European states," the
official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
"They have shot two targets with a single bullet -- they have built a
Jewish camp among the Islamic nations and got rid of the Jews from the
whole of Europe.

Another of HRW’s telephone testimonies is from the 25 year old Yasser
Ezati. Ezati claims, “after the first six months in Iraq, I
realized I had no desire to stay”. Since he claims to have gone
to Iraq in June 1997 and left in June 2004 it would appear that Ezati
had for 7 years wanted to leave the PMOI, but “…was repeatedly told the
only way out was to go to Iran. I was too afraid to go to Iran.”

One of HRW’s testimonies is from Mohammad Hussein Sobhani. HRW
allege that he spent “…eight-and-a-half years in solitary confinement
inside the MKO’s main camp in Iraq, Camp Ashraf, from September 1992 to
January 2001.”
The FOFI delegation was thus keen to interview Afsaneh Taherian
(Sobhani’s ex-wife) in order to evaluate the serious allegations of
abuse from this key HRW witness. FOFI also spoke to PMOI officials in
Camp Ashraf, to get their response to his allegations as well as
randomly questioning members of the PMOI.
