Ahmadinejad: "Iran does not intend to attack any country."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that his country has no intention of attacking any other country and its military might is just for deterrence purposes, IRNA reported.

This statement was made on the sidelines of a ceremony for unveiling the domestically-designed and developed fighter jet, codenamed Qaher-313.

Ahmadinejad and a number of high-ranking military officials attended the unveiling ceremony.

According to Ahmadinejad, designing and building the fighter jet shows self-reliance, vigilance and continuous progress of the Iranian nation, adding that no country has the right to attack Iran.

Tehran has repeatedly assured other nations, especially regional neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
