TEHRAN(The COW News digital ) Iran has warned Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Japan that their support for an anti-Iran resolution could carry consequences, according to remarks attributed to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei.
Speaking to Iranian state television, Baghaei reportedly called for greater dialogue between Iran and Gulf countries, arguing that regional disputes should be addressed through direct negotiations rather than external intervention.
The Iranian spokesman described bringing countries to the negotiating table as an important diplomatic achievement and stressed the need for regional states to engage with one another to address ongoing tensions.
Baghaei also issued strong remarks about the current security situation, saying Iran was neither in a normal state of war nor peace but was instead operating under what he described as wartime conditions.
He further argued that maritime restrictions and blockades should be considered acts of war. According to the Iranian official, any measures taken by Tehran in response would therefore be presented as defensive actions.
Baghaei also claimed that Iran continues to maintain full control over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important maritime routes. The waterway is a major transit route for global energy supplies, and any disruption in shipping through the strait could have significant implications for international fuel markets.
The Iranian spokesman additionally blamed the United States for rising fuel prices at the global level, while warning that countries supporting measures against Tehran would have to face the consequences of their decisions.
His comments come amid heightened regional tensions and growing diplomatic disagreements over Iran-related international measures. Tehran has repeatedly maintained that regional security issues should be addressed through dialogue among neighbouring countries and without outside interference.
Baghaei said the space for restraint was becoming increasingly limited under the prevailing circumstances, signalling that Iran could respond firmly to actions it considers hostile.
The statements reflect Tehran’s increasingly strong rhetoric amid broader geopolitical tensions involving Iran, the United States and countries in the Middle East.
The governments of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Japan have not, in the material available for this report, issued detailed responses to Baghaei’s warning. The nature and potential impact of the resolution referred to by the Iranian spokesman were also not independently established in the available reports.
The situation remains closely watched because any further escalation involving Iran and regional or international powers could affect diplomatic relations, maritime security and energy markets.
