Iran works on it's tough guy image.
Iran will carry out an "astonishing" retaliation to any attack against the Islamic republic by Israel or the United States.
"We will counter any stupid action by Israel and its master with firmness and in an astonishing way," said Brigadier-General Mohammad-Ali Jafari.
"We pushed the Baathist enemy from our country within one and a half years," he said, referring to the opening campaigns of the 1980-88 war with Iraq.
"With the experience and skills from that war and in the case of any invasion, the invaders will be defeated in less than one and a half months," Jafari said.
"Even though the US and Israel do not have the courage to invade the Iranian nation, the Revolutionary Guards are in very good state of readiness to response to threats," General Yahya Rahim Safavi said.
"The US can not bring security to the Middle East by pushing Iran aside. And if they plan conspiracies, the Iranian nation and its leadership will stand against expansionism with firmness," he said.
And a foreign ministry statement rejected calls from Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres for the world to take action against Iran's nuclear ambitions, seen by the US and Israel as a cover for weapons development.
"The unfounded claims of Israeli officials were made to deviate world attention from Israel's organised terror activities and efforts to further strengthen its nuclear power," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said.
"Israel's continued trampling of the rights of the Palestinian people on flimsy excuses cannot wipe out the roots of their struggle or weaken their resistance and they will eventually be vindicated," Asefi said.
