Iran Warns: No Oil Exports from Persian Gulf if Economic War Continues

Iran has issued a stark warning against continued economic pressure, threatening to halt all oil exports from the Persian Gulf if the "economic war" persists. Mohsen Rezai, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, declared on his X account that "not a single drop of oil will be exported from the Strait of Hormuz or anywhere in the Persian Gulf" if the economic hostilities continue.

Rezai further elaborated that Iran views any nation that joins or supports the U.S. economic sanctions as engaging in an "act of war." Consequently, Iran's stance towards such countries will be shaped accordingly. This declaration signals a significant escalation in Iran's rhetoric as it faces international economic sanctions.

If the economic war continues, not a single drop of oil will be exported from the Strait of Hormuz or anywhere in the Persian Gulf.

The statement underscores Iran's determination to retaliate against what it perceives as economic aggression. The potential disruption of oil exports from the Persian Gulf, a critical global energy chokepoint, could have far-reaching implications for international markets and regional stability.

We will consider the stance of any country that participates in the economic war against the Iranian people or supports this war as an act of war.
