US finding reasons to attack Iran: Khameni

GEO:
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni has alleged that the US is finding reasons to attack Iran.

While addressing pilgrims in Mashad he said that if Iran was challenged by the US then the Iranian people would fight fiercely and would sacrifice even their lives for the defence of their country.

Khameni said that after 11th September US President George Bush along with his deputies were in hiding for at least two to three days but he would not do such a thing because the reports that Iran is making an atomic bomb are untrue and these are only reasons given by the US to attack Iran.

He said that if these reasons do not work then the US would find other reasons like terrorism or human rights violations as an excuse to attack Iran.
