Iran warns neighboring countries to help the US
Iran warns neighboring countries not to participate in the US's "economic war" against the country.
In the event of escalation, Iran also threatens to strike American companies in the Middle East.
- Any country that participates in the imposition of economic restrictions against us will be considered an enemy, said Mohsen Rezaee, head of Iran's National Security Council, in an interview with state-controlled television on Saturday.
The statement comes after US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with "economic warfare" and new sanctions.
Iran has previously called the US plan “economic terrorism”. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has dismissed it as a diversion from the US’s high “debt and rising interest costs”.
According to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the aim is to cause the Iranian regime to collapse in the “largest coordinated economic isolation in world history”.
Mohsen Rezaee also says that Iran is ready to attack broadly against different types of targets.
“So far we have only targeted military bases, but if they want to impose economic sanctions on us, the US has oil companies and economic companies around Iran and elsewhere, and we will strike them,” he says.
