A senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader issued a sharp response to recent threats by President of the United States Donald Trump, saying his remarks reflect a “lack of understanding” of global economic and political realities.
The adviser said the logic of threats would not succeed against what he described as Iran’s geopolitical capabilities, stressing that Tehran holds significant strategic leverage.
Hormuz warning
Responding to Trump’s warning of imposing famine-like conditions on Iran, the adviser said global food security is closely tied to the Strait of Hormuz. He added that fertilizer supplies and key trade routes pass through the waterway, warning that any disruption could trigger a global food crisis.
The Iranian official warned that any attempt to target Iran’s interests would face consequences, stating that those who interfere with what he called a “vital artery” of the global system would reach a dead end.
The remarks reflect Tehran’s ongoing strategy of highlighting its maritime influence as a form of economic pressure, amid continued tensions linked to the “maximum pressure” policy pursued by the Trump administration.
