The Iranian military has been ordered to stand ready to defend the country’s nuclear sites in case of attack, army chief General Mohammad Salimi said on Wednesday.

“The air force has been ordered to protect the nuclear sites, using all its power,” Mr Salimi said, quoted by the government daily Iran. “The air force has temporarily suspended all its manoeuvres and focused its means on patrolling the sky,” he added.

“All our forces including land forces, anti-aircraft, radar tactics … are protecting the nuclear sites and an attack on them will not be simple,” the general said.
