Press TV: "Iran to US: Don't gamble with death"

It would be nice if the US would respond in kind:
Iran's former top nuclear negotiator says Washington would be gambling with death if it decides to launch a military attack on Tehran.

In a meeting in Qom, Ali Larijani said that although there is a remote possibility that the US will wage war on Iran, the Islamic Republic has reached a pinnacle of self-sufficiency and is fully prepared to defend itself in case it comes under attack.

"Iran's nuclear activities are in line with the regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency and therefore accusing the country of pursuing nuclear weaponry would be solely aimed at justifying their warmongering policies," the senior official explained.

Larijani also clobbered Western media outlets, saying that they have launched misinformation campaigns against Tehran to undermine the pending IAEA report on Iran's nuclear program.

"The Western media is exaggerating the extent of Iran's uranium enrichment program to prevent the UN nuclear watchdog from releasing its positive assessment on the country's nuclear activities," said Larijani who is a member of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
"Exaggerating"? What prompted them to do that?
On Wednesday, sources close to the UN nuclear watchdog affirmed that the agency's upcoming report on Iran would be positive and that it would vindicate the Islamic Republic of the West's allegations.
We'll see.
