Iran commander: Parliamentary election is our atomic bomb

Brigadier-General Mohammad Reza Naqdi of Iran's Basij paramilitary force said that on March 2 the Islamic republic "will drop its atomic bomb" on the US and "the opponents of the Islamic regime" – referring to the parliamentary elections that are set to take place on that day.

Naqdi said at a memorial service for nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, who was assassinated earlier this week, that "the enemies harm no one but themselves with their acts of terror." (Dudi Cohen)
