The Minister of Defense and Acting Commander of the Armed Forces, Majid Ibn al-Ridha, affirmed today, Sunday, that the repeated American threats do not intimidate the Islamic Republic of Iran but rather reveal the paralysis of its intelligence and analytical system and a decline in its ability to rationally assess battlefield realities.
Ibn al-Ridha stated in a speech during a meeting with directors of industrial institutions affiliated with the ministry, which was followed by the News Video Agency, that the repeated threats carry no operational or military value but come within the framework of political statements, emphasizing that Iran has never been and will never be a threat to neighboring countries and the peoples of the region, and always seeks to wisely distinguish between friends and foes.
Ibn al-Ridha stressed that Iran today is more powerful, united, and vigilant than ever, assuring that the armed forces are ready to engage in any new confrontation with more advanced technological and military capabilities that rely completely on independent national resources and strategies.
