Iran treats all threats as credible, even if meant as scare tactic, defense minister says

Tehran views every threat from its adversaries as “real and credible” even if made as part of psychological warfare, Iran’s acting defense minister Majid Ibn al-Reza, says, according to state media.

“We will neither be caught off guard nor remain passive,” he says, adding that Iran will use threats as a basis to increase its military readiness, strengthen deterrence and enhance its military capabilities.
