Iran General Rezaei warning — Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has issued a strong warning to the United States, stating that any new military aggression against Iran will be met with a powerful response targeting American military and economic interests. Rezaei made these remarks in Tehran, emphasizing that such actions would be remembered as a historic affliction for the United States.

Rezaei also addressed the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments, declaring that Tehran will not consider reopening it unless Washington takes concrete steps to address Iranian concerns. The general did not specify what actions the United States must take, but his statement underlines the high stakes involved in the ongoing tensions between the two countries.

The Strait of Hormuz, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is a critical chokepoint for international energy supplies. Any disruption in its operation could have significant consequences for global oil markets and international shipping. Rezaei’s comments signal that Iran is prepared to use its geographic position as leverage in its standoff with the United States.

These remarks come amid heightened tensions in the region, with Iranian officials repeatedly warning that they will defend the country’s sovereignty and interests against external threats. The warning from Rezaei, a senior figure in Iran’s security establishment, reinforces Tehran’s message that it will not tolerate further pressure or military action from Washington.
