Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran plans to launch a large aerial military exercise Sunday to prepare for any possible attack, state media said.

The five-day exercise was to cover a vast area in the country's northwest, west, south and southwest, Press TV said, citing Brig. Gen. Ahmad Miqani.

Iran's regular military and its elite Revolutionary Guards were to participate in the exercise against aerial attacks, especially against Iran's nuclear plants, according to Press TV.

The report did not offer further details about the scope of the exercise, but came as world powers have been strategizing about how to deal with Iran's apparent rejection of a key part of a nuclear deal.

The United States, Russia, China, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, along with the European Union, are trying to map a way forward on Tehran's controversial nuclear program. They seek to reduce international fears that Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons.

On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said his country refused a request to send its partly enriched uranium abroad to be turned into material for medical research.

However, he said, Tehran might allow the nuclear material to be reprocessed inside Iran, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported.

The nuclear deal, hammered out in October with the help of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is aimed to reduce the amount of raw material Iran has to build a nuclear bomb.

President Obama has warned of "consequences" if Iran does not accept the plan.

Iran says it intends to produce nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes, including civilian electricity and medical research.

Iranian media reported on Saturday that, according to a senior Iranian lawmaker, the country is capable of producing partly enriched uranium up to 20 percent, but had requested to buy the fuel from other countries instead. The move was described as a sign of good will.

"Given that Iran is capable of enriching uranium to a level more than 5 percent inside the country, it could well take a step to produce the fuel for its Tehran (research) reactor," said Kazem Jalali, of the parliament's national security and foreign policy commission, according to Press TV.

However, Iran sees buying the fuel as a better option, he said.

Iran begins war games to protect nuclear sites

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Thursday began large-scale air defense war games aimed at protecting the country's nuclear facilities against any possible attack, state television reported.

It said the five-day drill will cover an area a third of the size of Iran and spread across the central, western and southern parts of the country.

Gen. Ahmad Mighani, head of an air force unit that deals with threats to Iran's air space, said Saturday the war games would cover regions where Iran's nuclear facilities are located.

The drill involves both Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard, the paramilitary Basij forces affiliated with the Guard as well as army units.

The United States and its European allies accuse Iran of embarking on a nuclear weapons program. Iran denies the charge and insists the program is only for peaceful purposes.

Israel has not ruled out military action to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Also on Sunday, Iran's defense minister, Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, said Iran planned to pursue designing and producing its own air defense missiles, according to the official IRNA news agency.

His comments were apparently in response to the delay in the delivery from Russia of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, a key component of Iran's air defense.

Iran complains that the delay is apparently the result of Israeli and U.S. pressure.

Israel and the United States have opposed the missile deal out of fear Iran could use the system to significantly boost air defenses at its nuclear sites — including its main uranium enrichment plant at Natanz.

I can't believe you just said what you just said. Religion has NOTHING to do with the whole nuclear weapon debate. I can't believe you would even bring that into it.

You sir are foolish.

The reason Iran can not be allowed to have nuclear weapons is because 1. It has not signed the NPT 2. It has already threatened countries with nuclear weapons because iran has even made them. The president of iran said when they get nukes they will wipe israel off the face of the earth. THAT is terrorism.

Just like north korea can not be allowed nuclear weapons, iran can't either. Rogue terrorists states shouldn't be allowed them.

And for the record, muslim countries do have nuclear weapons, and there is nothing wrong with that because they are peacefull countries.

Pakistan has nuclear weapons, Eygpt has nuclear weapons, turkey has nuclear weapons and that is fine because they are peaceful countries.

Why is that so...?

I didn't see your post kindly read up.

Hey Fundamentalist I take it you like the idea of week Muslim countries that can be hit by jews any time As far as Iranians are concerned get used to of it. just as you and your Masters have no problem with Armed to the teeth Jewish state i forget to see why you have a problem with a Muslim country with nukes.

We all no Non Muslims are not allowed in Mecca yet, you have no problem with Non Muslims Running Arabia but have a problem with Muslim Nation Getting NUkes for her defence.

Excuse me? What you just said is dam right insulting. THIS ALL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION. Your comments that you just said is outrageous.

Let me repeat what i said, ANY country that has NOT signed the NPT and any country that plans to use nuclear weapons on another country SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. This is shared by all countries around the world.

It has NOTHING to do with religion. Many muslim countries do have nukes, 6 + countries, there is no problem as long as they are used for defence.

Iran has said it will use nuclear weapons against another country, this is why it must not be allowed nuclear weapons.

If Israeli said it is going to use nuclear weapons against another country, israel WOULD be stopped.

Stop being such an extremist, this all has nothing to do with religion. I have reported your post as it is very offensive.

If religion has nothing to do with it then why Fundamentalist Christians
In all over the westren Nations want to help the chosen ones and arm them to the teeth If u cant belive people have eyes and brains and can see right from wrong thats your problem.

You sir are foolish.

I take it unless you favor Israel right to have nukes and f16s Any thing else will make you a fool.

The reason Iran can not be allowed to have nuclear weapons is because 1. It has not signed the NPT 2

.

Israel isnt a signatory of NTP yet they have nuclear reactor + nuclear weapons or India isnt a signatory of NTP And have nukes but the westren governments Are ok with given nuclear tech to both countries.
Sugnatory of NTP are allowed to have free access to civilian nuclear
tech but smart people will no that.

It has already threatened countries with nuclear weapons

Jewish propogenda spread all over the world by jewish media

because iran has even made them. The president of iran said when they get nukes they will wipe israel off the face of the earth. THAT is terrorism.

First of all he never said that he said eventually Arab population in Israel will grow so much it will outnumber the jews in israel second what do u think about israel use of chemicals other weapons used against civilians Now Thats a terrorism.

Just like north korea can not be allowed nuclear weapons, iran can't either. Rogue terrorists states shouldn't be allowed them.

Name 2 countries that have attacked soverign nations at will Israel and usa and they have nukes. North korea wasnt attacked and iraq was cause North koreans have nukes .so i take it any body that wanna stop a bully from attacking him should have all defensive weapons as possible.

And for the record, muslim countries do have nuclear weapons, and there is nothing wrong with that because they are peacefull countries
Pakistan has nuclear weapons, Eygpt has nuclear weapons, turkey has nuclear weapons and that is fine because they are peaceful countries.

Egypt does not have nuclear weapons, i looked up what muslim countries had nuclear weapons and it said egpyt, but it was an unreliable link. I looked into it further and these are the current countries that have nukes and that are muslim just for the people who would like to know.

Turkey

LET ME REPEAT MY SELF ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL MAKE IT AS BIG AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND AS A SIGNATORY OF NPT IRANIANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE CIVILIANS NUCLEAR TECH.

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT or NNPT) is a treaty to limit the spread (proliferation) of nuclear weapons, opened for signature on July 1, 1968. There are currently 189 countries party to the treaty, five of which have nuclear weapons: the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and China (also permanent members of the United Nations Security Council).

Only four recognized sovereign states are not parties to the treaty: India, Israel, Pakistan and North Korea. India, Pakistan and North Korea have openly tested and declared that they possess nuclear weapons. Israel has had a policy of opacity regarding its own nuclear weapons program. North Korea acceded to the treaty, violated it, and withdrew from it in 2003.

The treaty was proposed by Ireland and Finland and they were the first to sign.

The NPT consists of a preamble and eleven articles. Although the concept of "pillars" appears nowhere in the NPT, the treaty is nevertheless sometimes interpreted as a three pillar system, with an implicit balance among them:

SO STOP YOUR PROPOGENDA AND CROCKODILE TEARS IF YOU WANT THE WORLD TO LISTEN TO YOU U MUST BE FAIR OTHER WISE ONLY WHO BENIFITS FROM YOUR ACTIONS WILL FAVOR YOU REST WILL WALK AWAY FROM YOU ITS THAT SIMPLE.
