Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said in remarks aired on Iranian state television that if Iran's neighbours cooperate with the United States in its economic war, Iran will strike their interests, that 'not a single drop of oil' will leave the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran will also hit other routes used to export oil from the Gulf. He framed the threats as retaliation while saying Iran does not seek to expand the war.
