Al Jazeera reported Iran's defense ministry said external threats and attacks
have driven advances in its defense industry, with those achievements "born of
threat." The ministry said years of development have "thwarted and deterred most
of the enemy's calculations and objectives." It added that the war shows any
attempt to strike Iran's national will to self-defence will face a nation both
resolute in defense and resistance and able to convert each threat into fresh
Impetus for construction, development and new strength.
