Iran’s Supreme National Security Council leader Mohsen Rezaei said neighbouring states that join a US campaign to economically isolate Tehran would be treated as enemies. He said Iran could target Gulf oil-shipping routes that bypass the Strait of Hormuz. ⚠️
Rezaei made the remarks in an interview with Iranian state television, his most extensive public statement since his appointment. Associated Press reported that he also warned against a further US military buildup and said Iran was discussing management of the strait with Oman.
The warning raises the stakes for regional trade and energy infrastructure. Before the conflict, the Strait of Hormuz carried about one-fifth of global oil supplies; France and Saudi Arabia are considering ports, pipelines and rail connections intended to reduce reliance on it. 🚢
The US has urged other governments to join economic pressure on Iran, while the United Arab Emirates has suspended trade and financial transactions with Tehran, according to the Guardian. It remains unclear whether alternative-route projects will proceed or whether Iran will carry out the threatened action.
