I interpret the statement as a direct and literal threat.
Right...if the Ayatollah said it, it must be true.

OR....as will noted, it is public posturing in light of the fact that, for the first time in eight years, they are being forced to the table and facing sanctions by their allies as well as their adversaries because of the recently enhanced diplomatic efforts.

Face-saving at its best....which is required of all good Ayatollahs
"we could have and would have made our ""enemies blind"..but after negotiations (and the first serious threat of sanctions), we wont"
A direct and literal threat? Relax and let diplomacy take its course for once. Something new and different!
