(MENAFN- IANS) Tehran, Jan 28 (IANS) Israel's "threats against Iran" are "psychological warfare" and the Iranian armed forces are fully prepared to protect the country, a top official said here.
Israel has neither a plan nor the capability to take action against Iran, Xinhua news agency quoted Mahmoud Vaezi, chief of staff of the Iranian President's office, as saying on Wednesday.
"We have no intention of launching an offense and no intention of war, but we are serious in defending the country," he said.
