Iran's top leader warned Friday that his country will answer measures designed to harm Iran's oil industry and threats of an attack by Israel. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Western-supported oil sanction will have no effect on Iran's decision to continue its nuclear program. He also said Iran will support any nation or group that wants to oppose Israel. American media have reported that Defense Secretary Leon Pannetta fears that Israel could strike Iran in the next few months.

イランの最高指導者は金曜日、イランは、イランの石油産業にダメージを与えようとする動きやイスラエルによる攻撃の威嚇に対抗していくと警告した。アヤトラ・アリ・ハメネイは、西洋諸国に支持された石油禁輸は、核開発を続けていくイランの決定に何も影響を与えないと言った。彼はまたイランはイスラエルに反対する国やグループを支援していくと言った。レオン・パネッタ防衛相は、ここ数ヶ月以内にイスラエルはイランを攻撃するのではと、懸念していることをアメリカメディアは報道している。
My thought/opinion on this issue
Iran's recent situation is a little bit similar to the Japan's situation before the World War 2, I think. At that time, Japan had been isolated from international community. Finally, Japan had chosen starting a war to break the bad situation.

The hyphen is a pretty fine point, but I thought that I would go ahead and correct that too. I think that many Americans would make the same oversight. As you're probably aware, the hyphen links the two terms because they can be considered something of a multi-term adjective.
Jon-san,
Thank you for a comment. This time I did not think of the use of hyphen.
