A senior Iranian air force commander said his troops have prepared operational plans to retaliate against Israel’s possible air strikes on the Islamic Republic.

In clear reaction to the recent statements by the US Secretary that Washington has different options on the table for confronting Tehran, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said his country is also ready to give various responses to such threats.

A scheduled meeting between Iran’s former top nuclear negotiator and secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Hassan Rohani and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana was postponed to an unknown date.
