Iran has issued a stern warning to any nation considering joining the United States in its economic sanctions campaign against Tehran. The threat comes as Washington urges its allies to support the president's unpopular initiative to isolate the Iranian economy. Speaking on state television, Mohsen Rezai, the head of Iran's supreme national security council, declared that any country participating in the U.S. economic war against Iran would be deemed an enemy.
Rezai emphasized that such involvement would result in Iran harming the participating country's interests.

To date, Iran has focused solely on military bases, while the U.S. holds significant economic influence across Iran.
