Iran has issued a stark warning, vowing to target the interests of any nation that supports Washington in its "economic war" against Tehran. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, declared that countries aiding the United States will be considered enemies.

This declaration signals a significant escalation in Iran's stance amid ongoing international pressure and sanctions imposed by the U.S. The move suggests Tehran is prepared to take retaliatory measures against those perceived as complicit in the economic campaign against it.

The statement highlights the deepening geopolitical tensions and Iran's resolve to counter what it views as hostile economic policies. The scope of "economic war" and the specific countries that might fall under this threat remain to be seen, but the warning indicates a potential for broader regional or international friction.

Enemy is every country that sides with Washington in its economic war.
