Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, has stated that the country will not allow the United States to impose the terms for ending the war. Rezaei emphasized that Tehran views countries supporting the U.S. economic offensive as enemies.

According to reports, Rezaei claimed that Iran will prevent the flow of oil through the Persian Gulf as part of its response to the so-called 'economic operation' announced by Donald Trump. This measure is part of a broader warning about possible retaliation from Iran against the interests of neighboring countries engaged in the economic conflict.

Furthermore, Rezaei mentioned that Iran believes there is a 'total war' waged by the United States, prompting the country to adopt a strong stance against any nation that joins what it describes as a U.S. blockade.

From the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Bagaei supported this position, suggesting that the memorandum signed with Washington represents a viable exit for Iran from the current stalemate in relations with the United States.

Iran's warnings include direct attacks on U.S. economic interests in the region, reflecting the increasing tensions between the two countries and Tehran's position regarding the cooperation of other governments with the United States.
