Iran's leader says country so powerful now, no one dare attack it militarily

TEHRAN, Iran: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday extolled what he described as Iran's self-sufficiency in producing army equipment and said Iran was so powerful now, no other country would dare launch a military strike against it.

"We have passed our point of vulnerability," Ahmadinejad told state television during a visit to an Iranian defensive equipment exhibition. "This means nobody would dare stage a military assault against our nation."

Ahmadinejad said possible adversaries were aware of Tehran's defense capabilities and said that Iranian national unity was also a key factor as to why no other country would attack Iran.

"I don't think there is an item that we cannot produce, if we need it," Ahmadinejad said.

The hardline president's remarks came as the U.N. Security Council was preparing to debate a third round of punitive measures against Tehran.
