Iran Warns Any Country Supporting US Sanctions Considered Enemy

Iran has issued a stern warning to nations participating in the United States' "economic war" against the Islamic Republic, declaring they will be regarded as enemies. This declaration comes as the U.S. intensifies its efforts to isolate Iran's economy.

“

We declare to all countries… do not join the economic war waged by the United States.

Mohsen Rezai, the head of Iran's supreme national security council, stated on state television that any country aligning with economic restrictions against Iran would be considered an adversary. He further threatened that Iran would "harm" the interests of nations that refuse to distance themselves from the United States.

“

Any country participating in the imposition of economic restrictions against us is considered an enemy.

Rezai asserted that Iran still holds significant leverage in the ongoing conflict. He noted that Iran has primarily targeted military bases thus far but warned of potential strikes against U.S. economic interests, including oil and other companies, should sanctions be imposed. "If Trump takes action, our confrontation will be like an earthquake," he added.

“

If the countries concerned refused to “distance themselves” from the United States, Iran would “harm” their interests.

The U.S. has urged key partners, including China, to join its efforts to isolate Iran's economy. However, China has expressed criticism, arguing that American sanctions will not resolve the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates, a major trading partner for Iran, announced on Tuesday the suspension of all trade and financial transactions with Tehran until further notice.

“

So far, we have only targeted military bases, but if they want to impose economic sanctions on us, the United States has oil and economic companies around Iran and elsewhere, and we will strike them.
