> Iran’s acting defense minister, Seyed Majid Ebn Al-Reza, said Tehran regards every threat from an “enemy” as real and noteworthy. He rejected descriptions of such warnings as merely psychological warfare. Iran also denied that it had reached an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The remarks reinforce Tehran’s stated view that the threats should be taken seriously rather than dismissed.
