Iran is planning a display of military might as is leaders call on coalition forces to leave its neighbour, Iraq. Army chief Major-General Muhammad Salimi said Iran was at its highest state of preparedness and there would be a mass parade to mark Army Day on Friday. But President Mohammad Khatami has said he does not believe the US will instigate further military action in the region, where both Iran and Syria have been described by US President George W Bush as members of an \"axis of evil\". The Iranian leader also said that his country would not recognize any US-installed administration in Baghdad. \"If the Iraqi regime had been toppled by the Iraqi people themselves, we would have organized a big feast in Iran, but occupation of Iraq is a violation of international regulations,\" Mr Khatami told reporters after a cabinet meeting. \"We will not recognize any administration other than an all-Iraqi government. \"However, we are not seeking tension or confrontation with anybody.\" (BBC)
