Yes, it is.
If a threat isn't credible, why are you even talking about it?
You are delving into the land of fairies and dragons, of elves and hobbits, when you ask one to embark onto a journey of imagination.
Imagine the threat was credible
No. I'll stick with reality. Suggest you do likewise.
Within the last year, Iran made some threats towards Israel that were certainly credible, and they demonstrated that credibility (even if they pulled a few punches for political reasons).
What you are indulging in is sheer fantasy.
What I would expect Iran to do, if they felt a need to back up the Supreme Leader's rhetoric, is attack various places where there are Americans in the Middle East.

They have the means to do that within the region.
