Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaee, has warned countries against participating in economic measures touted by President Donald Trump, saying Washington's measures could affect the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
Not a Single Drop Of Oil Will Flow In a post on X on Sunday, Rezaee warned that "not a single drop of oil will be exported" through the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf, "if the economic war continues," reaffirming his earlier warning to countries participating in U.S. measures.
He added that Tehran would "regard any country’s participation in or support for America’s economic war against the Iranian people as an act of war." If the economic war continues, not a single drop of oil will be exported٫ neither through the Strait of Hormuz nor from anywhere in the Persian Gulf.
