Iran condemns Israel’s military threats

Iran has strongly condemned the military threats posed by Israel, and the West’s criticism of the country’s defense capabilities as outrageous and irrational.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said on Thursday while Israeli officials keep threatening Iran with military action, the West continues to blame the country for boosting its defense capability.

Baqaei noted that the West Asia region is scourged by an occupying entity that is long addicted to aggression and lawless behavior.

Therefore, he added, it is only responsible and essential for Iran to maximize its defense capabilities.

His remarks came after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said military action is needed to halt Iran’s nuclear program.

Over the past years, the West has also censured Iran’s work on nuclear, drone, space, and missile programs, demanding Tehran to stop them.
