ISNA, the Iranian state run news agency, cited Iranian Defense Minister Mustafa Mohammad Najar as saying: “our enemies have come to the battlefield and they want to show their presence in the Middle East and increase pressure to confront us and our nuclear activities.”
He added: “We shall respond any attack; however, we do no believe the White House is not going to inflict us through military means. These threats more than anything else are psychological warfare to influence us politically and our economy.”
