New Delhi: Iran has formed battalions of about 40,000 suicide bombers to strike British and American targets if its nuclear facilities are attacked, says a media report.
The report published in the British News paper ‘Sunday Times’ claims that the main force was first seen last month parading in olive-green uniforms with explosive packs around their waists.
According to report Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said in a speech that 29 western targets had been identified.
The newspaper claimed that it had heard a tape recording in which Abbasi vowed that Britain's demise is on their agenda.
Iran has been at loggerheads with the Western countries over its nuclear programme.
Earlier, the US has condemned Iran's announcement it has successfully enriched uranium for nuclear fuel, saying "once again they have chosen the pathway of defiance."
The West, led by the US, believes that Iran plans to build nuclear weapons, and says the move only underscores why the global community has serious concerns about Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Iran's move would only result in further isolation, and the United States will have to consult with its allies on what the next step in the diplomatic standoff would be, McClellan said.
