Iranian: They'll strike U.S. interests worldwide if US attacks
 Iran today warned it is capable of carrying out military strikes on U.S. interests around the world if America attacks the Islamic Republic. The U.S. has tried to force Tehran to scrap sensitive nuclear work through sanctions targeting Iran's central bank and Iranian government assets. But Iran's ambassador to Moscow said on Wednesday that the U.S. would be making a mistake akin to suicide by risking a military strike on them.Translation: We know we can't do squat agains the Continental USA, so we will threaten all your overseas interests instead! Because we're so awesome. Or so sucky. Whatever.... 'The Americans know what kind of country Iran is,' Ambassador Seyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi said. 'They are well aware of our people's unity. And that's why Iran is fully able to deliver retaliatory strikes on the United States anywhere in the world,' he added through an interpreter. 'The issue of a military attack from America on the Islamic Republic of Iran has been on the agenda for several years,' Mr Sajjadi said, adding Iran would never strike first.
