Tehran: Iran would "cut off the hand" of any aggressor against the Islamic Republic over its disputed nuclear programme, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini said on Wednesday.
Khomeini, Iran's highest authority, also said the country had "very clearly-defined red lines" in any talks with major powers about its nuclear work, which the West suspects is aimed at making bombs.
