A top Iranian cleric on Friday warned Israel and the United States that they would be made to regret any attack against Iran, amid mounting tensions in the nuclear crisis. "You liar Israel and you liar the White Houset if you want to make an invasion we will give you such a response that you will regret your move," Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani said in a Friday prayers sermon broadcast on state radio.

Tensions over the nuclear standoff have again surged in the past two days after Iran test-fired a broadside of missiles-including one it says puts it within range of Israel-in war games that provoked international concern.
