Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani has warned the United States and Israel against their aggressive efforts, saying the two would surely face “minefields.”

"After the disgrace in (US-brokered) talks (between the Palestinian Authority and Israel), certain clumsy measures taken in Lebanon are another defeated adventurism," IRNA quoted Larijani as saying in an address to the open session of Majlis on Tuesday.

"The US and the Zionist regime (Israel) will definitely face minefields at this juncture," he added.

North Korea is prepared to wage a "holy war" against the south, including using its nuclear weapons, the country's armed forces minister warned.

His warning came as South Korea staged a massive show of force aimed at deterring further aggression from their volatile neighbour.

The North's defence chief, Kim Yong Chun, told a patriotic rally to celebrate the military achievements of the country's ailing dictator Kim Jong-il, that Pyongyang was "fully prepared to launch a sacred war" if the South encroached on its territory.

South Korea yesterday staged its largest military exercise of the year exactly a month after a North Korean artillery bombardment against a South Korean island killed four, dramatically raising tensions on the Peninsula.

Iran's president says the era of using missiles and nuclear weapons in politics is over and Tehran is not concerned about the deployment of missile systems.

"Relations between Iran and Turkey are strong and not easily damaged," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in reference to the deployment of NATO missile systems in Turkey during a press conference on the sidelines of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) summit in the Turkish city of Istanbul on Thursday.

In November, Turkey accepted the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) decision to deploy a missile system on its soil after NATO conceded not to single out Iran as a target in its missile plan.
