Iran’s new security chief says neighbours who join US economic war will be considered ‘enemies’

Iran's new security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, has warned its neighbours that joining the US in its economic efforts against Tehran will be considered an act of hostility. This means that any country that cooperates with the US in its economic sanctions against Iran may face retaliation from Iran. The threat comes as the US has increased pressure on Iran's economy, and Iran is looking to protect its interests in the region.

Why it matters

Iran's new security chief is taking a hardline stance against neighbours who join the US economic war. This could lead to increased tensions in the region and negatively impact investor sentiment.
