Iran threatens Europe: "We will not overlook participation in aggression, it is our right to respond"
Tehran has resumed threats against countries assisting the US, clarifying that it reserves the right to strike the source of any aggressive action. The regime is also signaling the possibility of disrupting oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz. Observers note that Iran views the current situation as a struggle for survival.
Iran continues to issue threats that extend beyond its direct confrontation with the US. Senior officials in Tehran warn that countries assisting Washington will be considered partners and threaten to strike their allies, signaling that continued economic pressure could lead to the disruption of oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, the commander of the Pakistani army has arrived in Tehran amid attempts to revive mediation efforts and prevent further regional deterioration. In response to reports regarding American refueling planes departing from Bulgaria, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated:
"We have clarified that such participation is considered an act of aggression. It is Iran's right to strike the center and source from which any aggressive action against Iran originates. And as we have shown, when it comes to defending the very existence of Iran, we will certainly not show any leniency or restraint."
"We will not show any leniency or compromise in the face of the attacking parties," Baghaei emphasized. "Naturally, the attacking party is the one that needs to bear responsibility. We certainly were not the ones who started the war, but we will not allow the war to end according to terms dictated by the attacking party."
Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebbi also addressed Iran's missile capabilities:
"Our missiles have become advanced; they are no longer launched only to a predetermined point, but there is an option to guide and change their trajectory during flight, and they can identify and track their target. For any damage the enemy tried to inflict on us, in response we tried to cause the same damage in a strategic way, both to them and to their infrastructure and their allies."
Meanwhile, Tehran is escalating its economic threats. Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Mohsen Rezaee tweeted:
"If the economic war continues, not a single drop of oil will be exported — neither through the Strait of Hormuz nor from anywhere else in the Persian Gulf. Iran will regard any country's participation in or support for the United States' economic war against the Iranian people as an act of war."
Iranian journalist Ali Golahi, who is close to the regime, stated that the message from Tehran is intended to signal that Iran will do everything in its power to disable oil exports through the strait. "The new sanctions package from the US is taken seriously in Tehran, and the participation of regional countries, especially the UAE, will have extensive and unpredictable consequences. Iran views the new military and economic tension as a struggle for survival, and therefore it may take any possible step."
