This active nation could never be subdued
Dubai (Reuters)-the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Thursday, saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran would destroy Israel cities, Tel Aviv and Haifa, if his country was attacked by the Jewish State.

"Sometimes the officials the Zionist regime (Israel) threatened to launch a military attack. But they know that if they do the slightest mistake, the Islamic Republic will destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground, "said Khamenei when addressed in order to commemorate Iran's new year.

Israel has threatened to conduct military action against Iran unless the Islamic State that stop its nuclear activities.

During this time Western countries suspect Iran's nuclear program is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.

Tehran rejected those allegations and said it wants nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes.

In a statement broadcast by television, Khamenei says Iran last year struggle against international sanctions imposed against his country--related to the nuclear program--it resembles a battle.

He said Iran's enemies have admitted that they are working to "cripple the nation of Iran."

"What happened last year, we need to take a lesson from it," he said, alluding to what he characterized as important advances Iran in science and military.

Khamenei also urged the world to mengormati "natural rights" Iran to enrich uranium for nuclear energy, such as reported Reuters.

The Western powers have rejected that request, saying that Iran hid its nuclear activities from the audit of the United Nations (UN) as well as hinder their investigation.

Talks between Iran and six world powers--the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, will begin again early next month in an effort to reach an agreement regarding the next aspiration of a nuclear Iran.

Khamenei is quiet

Meanwhile, Khamenei acted-finals against the urging of the United States to conduct direct talks between the two countries.

U.S. diplomatic relations and Iran soured after Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979.

"I don't feel optimistic about the talks-talks. Why? Because of previous experiences show that American officials for the talks does not mean we sit down together and reach a logical solution ... What do they mean with the talks is that we sit together and talk to Iran accept their views, "he said.

"Iran only wants enrichment rights, which is a natural right, recognized by the world."

Peshawar, Pakistan (Reuters)-a number of people in the tribal areas of Pakistan Army on Monday attacked a convoy of vehicles transporting military equipment to NATO operations in Afghanistan, killing two people, officials said.

A convoy of about 25 vehicles was attacked after being stuck in traffic congestion in the town of Landi Kotal in the Khyber tribal region.

"At least three armed men opened fire on the convoy is unknown, killed a driver and keneknya and damaging two vehicles," said a local government official Shakil Burki told AFP.

He added, the armed men fled after the attack and one person in the convoy was also injured.

A senior police officer in the area confirmed the incident and casualties.

Yet there are those who claim responsibility for the attack but the Taliban often attack vehicle convoys North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Khyber is one of seven areas in the tribe semi-autonomy of Pakistan, where the Taliban and Al-Qaida linked militants have bases that are used to plan attacks in Afghanistan.

Pakistan hit by bomb attacks and suicide shooting that killed more than 5200 people since government troops stormed a mosque into a militant hideout in Islamabad in July 2007.

Sectarian violence has increased since the Sunni guerrillas deepens ties with militants of Al Qaida and the Taliban after Pakistan joined the US-led operations to quell militancy after the attacks of 11 September 2001 in the United States.

Pakistan also received increased international pressure to crush the militant groups in the Northwest and the tribal zone amid rising attacks cross-border guerrillas against Afghanistan's international troops.

U.s. officials waged a war with unmanned aircraft against the Taliban and Al Qaida commander in the Northwestern tribal areas, where militants hiding in mountainous areas that are beyond the direct control of the Pakistani Government.

The United States, the border area was used as a place for militant groups to carry out training, reshaping power and launch attacks against coalition forces in Afghanistan.

U.S. Urges Islamabad put an end to these attacks unmanned aircraft, while Washington demanded Pakistan take decisive action to quell the terror network.

Anti-u.s. sentiment is high in Pakistan, and the war against militancy carried out AS unpopular in Pakistan because of the perception that many civilians were killed by unmanned aircraft attacks aimed at militants along the border with Afghanistan and residents felt that it was a violation of Pakistani sovereignty.

Unmanned aircraft launched dozens of attacks on U.S. in Pakistan tribal region since U.S. commandos killed Al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in a covert operation in the city of Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011. (M014)
