Iranian First Vice President Parviz Davoodi warned on Friday that the armed forces of his country would fight back "like lightning" against any attack from the enemies. "We can defend our motherland and the Islam. We want peace but we tell the expansionists not to try to launch an aggression against Iran," Davoodi told a military parade in south Tehran commemorating the 1980-1988 war between Iran and Iraq, reported ITAR-TASS. "Our lions (the Iranian armed forces) are powerful and they could hit the enemy like lightning and destroy him," he added.
