🇮🇷 | Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaee:

I now say to all Arab countries and all neighboring countries: if the Americans try to obstruct our commercial and financial relations, we will do two things.

First, we will definitely attack American companies, such as the American drilling companies that operate extensively around us, American commercial companies, and American businesses.

We will target them and say: an attack on the American economy in response to America’s attack on the Iranian economy. Attack for attack.

On the other hand, we also tell the neighboring countries: do not cooperate with America, because we will respond in kind. If a neighboring country cooperates with the Americans in imposing an economic blockade on Iran, for example in financial matters and activities related to us, we will punish its ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

We will impose restrictions on their movement and passage, on some of their activities, and we will respond in kind regarding economic cooperation.

My question to Arab officials is this: if Iran had not resisted and Iran had been forced to surrender, would Israel not have attacked Saudi Arabia today? Would Israel not have advanced all the way to Damascus? Would Israel not have attacked Iraq?

We have given martyrs here, and we are defending the Arab countries. If we had not rubbed America’s and Israel’s noses in the dirt here in Iran, and if they had felt victorious in Iran, there would have been no one in the region capable of standing against them.

Israel would have attacked all the Arab countries, and America would have supported it. We resisted. Yes, we defended our own country, but our defense also benefited the Arab countries.

Is Saudi Arabia itself not connected to some groups in Yemen? Does it not supply them with weapons? Is that not intervention?

Our cooperation with AnsarAllah becomes intervention, but what Saudi Arabia does is not intervention?

What we do is considered intervention, even though we want to bring this issue to an end, while Saudi Arabia is the one that does not want the issue to end.

A revolutionary government has been formed in Yemen. Saudi Arabia should move toward it, and the two countries should become friends and brothers and work together. Whatever we can do, we are at their service.

Now Yemeni forces have gone to Bab al-Mandab, taken control of it, and deployed there, and they say this happened at Iran’s instigation.

Tomorrow, if the same thing happens in Gibraltar, they will again say that it happened at Iran’s instigation. What incitement have we carried out?

They themselves are pushing peoples toward rebellion and revolution against them. In my view, Trump and this Israeli entity are behind all of these developments.

The Arab countries must completely prevent America and tell it: “You have no right to launch attacks from our countries to bomb Iran.”

We are serious about defending ourselves. This time, if war begins, we will strike even more severely at all the U.S. air bases from which those aircraft take off.

We will strike them with greater force.
