伊朗副外長：（駁斥前以色列總理貝內特關於伊朗軍事力量被瓦解的說法）爲了對付這個伊朗，美國卻需要發起“史上最大規模的金融攻擊”，並動員“美國所有機構和部門”？這究竟是勝利，還是對失敗的苦澀承認！？

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei told Iranian state television Tehran is urging other countries, including neighbors, not to join Trump’s “economic war,” warning any state that imposes economic restrictions will be treated as an enemy and threatening “hellish” retaliation. Hamidreza Aziz, an Iran researcher at the Clingendael Institute, said Iran appears to be moving to earlier deterrence by signaling that preparations to attack Iran could themselves trigger a response. Aziz identified two emerging elements in the new doctrine: pre-emption to prevent perceived threats from materialising and asymmetric retaliation to raise the cost of any attack. He said Rezaei’s warning to Gulf states amounts to a de facto ultimatum and that Iran’s military-security apparatus is stepping up preparations for a possible new round of escalation.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said cooperation with the United States on sanctions targeting Iran will have serious consequences.
