New U.S. and Israeli Military Actions Against Iran Would Be Underway
“Iran would be able to identify which regional states are prepared to back American forces if military action resumes,” he told RIA Novosti in an interview.
“In that case, the decisions taken by Iran may go beyond strikes on the military bases of those countries, and those countries themselves will be classified as hostile states,” he added.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said that the United States has spent US$11 billion in taxpayers’ money on missile defense for Israel within the past three years.
“It has fired more interceptors defending Israel than Israel has. That is not a symbiotic relationship. It is a parasitic one,” he pointed out.

Energy markets not to find calm for next 3 years if anti-Iran situation continues
On Thursday, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei warned that global energy markets will remain volatile “for the next three years” if the U.S. continues its current pressure campaign against Iran.
“Perpetuating the current situation will carry strategic consequences, not least that the energy markets will not find calm for the next three years,” he stated in an interview with U.S.-based news outlet Drop Site News.
Rezaei said that if another war is imposed on Iran, Tehran still has the capacity to launch missiles and drones at various U.S. assets across the region and will expand its target list to include “cables, data centers and artificial intelligence facilities.”
The official stressed that Iran will neither reopen the Strait of Hormuz nor return to negotiations, unless its seven new conditions, presented to the United States through mediators, are met.
He also said Gulf states “are rapidly redefining their relationship with Iran” as they realized that “the U.S. military is incapable of defending its own bases.”
