Wie gesagt, die Meldung ansich ist nicht neu. Auch handelt es sich dabei nicht um Prahlerei, sondern um eine konrekte Warnung. Ein solcher Schritt wäre übrigens absolut legitim.

Ich würde da ansonsten nichts rein oder überinterpretieren

EDIT : Habs gerade nochmal "rausgegoogelt"

Iran Warns Of Preemptive Strike To Prevent Attack On Nuclear Sites

Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani warned Wednesday that Iran might launch a preemptive strike against US forces in the region to prevent an attack on its nuclear facilities.

"We will not sit (with arms folded) to wait for what others will do to us. Some military commanders in Iran are convinced that preventive operations which the Americans talk about are not their monopoly," Shamkhani told Al-Jazeera TV when asked if Iran would respond to an American attack on its nuclear facilities.

"America is not the only one present in the region. We are also present, from Khost to Kandahar in Afghanistan; we are present in the Gulf and we can be present in Iraq," said Shamkhani, speaking in Farsi to the Arabic-language news channel through an interpreter.

"The US military presence (in Iraq) will not become an element of strength (for Washington) at our expense. The opposite is true, because their forces would turn into a hostage" in Iranian hands in the event of an attack, he said.
