Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi reiterated that "Israel" lacks the ability to attack Iran, and warned that the Iranian Armed Forces will give a crushing response to any "Israeli" aggression.

"The Zionist regime can only dream of striking Iran, otherwise, the first mistake of this fake regime will be its last," Vahidi said in Iran's Central province of Isfahan on Wednesday.

He further stated: "The US and the Zionist regime's threats have no value and at the same time, show their aggressive nature, and reveal their deceitful and misleading claims."
The Iranian top official reiterated Iran's complete readiness to give a swift response to any military aggression against the country.

In parallel, Vahidi advised US authorities to try and solve the problems in their own country instead of making warmongering remarks.

The Iranian Defense Minister made the remarks after US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel supported the the Zionist entity's warmongering rhetoric against the Islamic Republic on April 21, saying Washington and "Israel" see "exactly the same" threat from Tehran.

Vahidi said the United States issues inhuman threats while proudly donating weapons and funds to the criminal regime of "Israel", which is notorious for killings and terrorist actions.

Last Wednesday, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said that the Iranian Armed Forces have the necessary capability to bring into action the Supreme Leader's warnings to enemies.
"The deterrent warnings of the Supreme Leader of the [Islamic] Revolution to enemies are serious and based on the capacities and reality of the Islamic Iran's defensive power," Jafari said, addressing Iranian border guards units in the country's Northwestern regions.
