Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says his country's military will "break the hand" of any aggressor that targets his country.

Ahmadinejad was speaking at Sunday's parade which marked the start of the war with Iraq in 1980. On show were Iran's latest domestically manufactured military arms, naval weapons and air force equipment.

The US and its allies have accused Iran of trying to make weapons with its nuclear program. Ahmadinejad has repeatedly denied the charge, and said Iran will protect its own interests.

This includes retaliating against US interests and Israel. Ahmadinejad also said sanctions over its nuclear plans will only help his country become more self-sufficient.
