Iranian Acting Defense Minister Ibn Reza stated at a meeting of defense industry managers: “The repeated reiteration of past threats demonstrates that the enemy’s intelligence and analysis system has been paralyzed. The enemy must understand a very simple and clear fact: when dealing with Iran, one should not speak through threats. Iran and its decision-making system do not take the threats from the other side seriously at all. From our perspective, these threats themselves have no practical value. These threats are more of a political message or political statement than information backed by real military capabilities. Iran has never posed a threat to the people of its neighbors and countries in the region, and has always strived to distinguish between friends and enemies based on wisdom and reason.”
