TEHRAN, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Iran's top military official said on Friday Iran would retaliate by striking Israel's nuclear facility if its nuclear activities were hit by Israel, said the country's armed forces chief of staff Hassan Firouzabadi.

"Our developed weapons can hit any part of the Zionist regime (Israel) ... We hope not to be forced to attack their nuclear facility," Firouzabadi told the semi-official Mehr news agency. (Reporting by Hossein Jaseb; Writing by Parisa Hafezi; Editing by Louise Ireland)
