Washington Post:

Iran warned today that the United States could suffer “harm and pain” if the United Nations Security Council imposes sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran delivered the warning at a meeting in Vienna of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s governing board. The 35-member board convened to consider an IAEA report that concluded, after three years of inspections, that the existence of “undeclared nuclear materials or activities in Iran” could not be ruled out.

Full story

Truthdig says: We’re being threatened by the country Bush didn’t invade and whose surrogates we put in power in Iraq.

Article says:
“The United States may have the power to cause harm and pain, but it is also susceptible to harm and pain,” Javad Vaeidi, head of the Iranian delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency, told the agency’s board during an all-day, closed-door meeting here. “So if the United States wishes to choose that path, let the ball roll.”

Article headline says:
Iran Threatens U.S. With ‘Harm and Pain’

It seems that you decided to go with the headline rather than the article. Iran is not the United States, and is not threatening to preemptively attack. Iran has been declared Evil by the Bush administration: that simple fact should be enough to prompt you to question all the negative publicity that the nation is now receiving.
