TEHRAN,Iran (AP) - The deputy commander of Iran's air force said
Wednesday that plans have been drawn up to bomb Israel if the Jewish
state attacks Iran, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
"We have drawn up a plan to strike back at Israel with our bombers if
this regime (Israel) makes a silly mistake," deputy air force chief,
Gen. Mohammad Alavi was quoted as telling Fars in an interview.
The Fars news agency confirmed the quotes when contacted by the
Associated Press, but would not provide a tape of the interview. The
Iranian Air Force, for its part, had no immediate comment on the interview.
The announcement comes amid rising tensions in the region with the
United States calling for a new round of U.N. sanctions against Iran
over its disputed nuclear program and Israeli planes having recently
overflown Iranian ally Syria's territory.
