Iran: We consider any threat from our rivals "real and existing" - Sarmad

Iranian state media reported on Sunday that Majid Al-Reza, the acting Iranian Minister of Defense, stated that Tehran considers any threat from its adversaries “real and existing,” even if it comes in the context of a psychological war. He added, “We will not be caught off guard, nor will we stand with folded hands,” noting that Iran would use these threats as a basis to raise its military readiness, enhance its deterrence capabilities, and develop its military capacities.
