Iranian Leader Says a U.S. Attack on Iran Would Be 'Suicide'
TEHRAN, Iran June 4 —
Anyone who invades Iran would be committing suicide, Iran's supreme leader said Wednesday, following the G-8 summit's warning that the world would
not tolerate an Iranian nuclear bomb.
U.S. officials have accused Iran of harboring senior al-Qaida figures and strongly suspect it is secretly pursuing a nuclear weapons program, raising
fears in Iran of punitive measures.
"U.S. threats are not new," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told tens of thousands of people who had assembled for the 14th anniversary of the death of the
late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founding father of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iran says its nuclear development is solely to produce electricity and that its uranium enrichment is to provide fuel for reactors, not bombs.
