A SENIOR Iranian military official says his country has drawn up plans to attack Israel from the air in case of war between the two countries.
In an interview published by the Iranian semi-official Fars News Agency on Wednesday, General Mohammed Alavi, a deputy commander in the air force, was quoted as saying his country could attack Israel with long-range missiles as well as fighter aircraft in case of war.
General Alavi spoke in the wake of remarks by the French Foreign Minister, Bernard Kouchner, who said on Sunday that nations should prepare for a possible war with Iran if it continued with its nuclear drive.
Israeli and US officials have also threatened the possibility of pre-emptive attacks on Iran to block it from obtaining advanced nuclear technology that could be used to build atomic weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is meant to augment civilian energy needs.
Military analysts say Iran could retaliate against any US or Israeli air raids by hitting targets in the Persian Gulf, disrupting oil flows or launching attacks on US forces in Iraq or Afghanistan.
But General Alavi said an Israeli attack on Iran would prompt retaliation against Israel.
“Such a plan is not just a hollow threat, and we do everything on the basis of correct and precise planning, and we have gained the needed readiness,” General Alavi was quoted as saying. “We can also attack them by our fighter planes and respond to their possible air strikes.”
General Alavi said he did not think Israel would attack Iran.
On Wednesday Dr Kouchner strongly defended his sharp stance on Iran’s nuclear program, saying his earlier remarks that the world had to prepare for a possible war against Iran had been misinterpreted and that he was a man of peace.
As criticism of France for its war rhetoric increased, Dr Kouchner set out in a lengthy morning interview with the radio station France Inter to explain and defend, but not retract, his words. “I said, ‘The worst, it is war,”‘ Dr Kouchner said. “‘The worst,’ this is not what I want. I did not say, ‘The best, it’s war.’ I did not say, ‘My choice, it’s war.’ I said, ‘The worst.”‘
At times sounding defensive, at times irritated, he said: “I am not a warmonger; I am a peace-monger.” He faulted the news media around the world “for throwing, like a bomb, one word without explaining it.”
On Wednesday the French Defence Minister, Herve Morin, said the country had no plan to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
