周六，伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书穆赫辛·雷扎伊对伊朗国家电视台表示，伊朗正呼吁包括邻国在内的世界各国不要加入美国的“经济战”。他说任何参与对伊朗实施经济限制的国家都将被视为敌人，并警告将进行“地狱级”报复。 荷兰克林根达尔研究所伊朗问题研究员哈米德雷扎·阿齐兹表示，伊朗似乎正试图在更早的阶段建立威慑，通过发出信号表明，即使是针对伊朗的攻击准备也可能引发伊朗的回应。阿齐兹表示，新的“进攻理论”中有两个要素正在浮现：1)先发制人，旨在防止感知到的威胁成为现实；2)不对等的报复，旨在提高任何实际攻击的成本。伊朗对海湾国家加入特朗普经济战的警告本质上是对海湾国家的最后通牒，伊朗的军事安全机构正越来越“紧锣密鼓”地为新一轮局势升级做准备。
