Iran makes explicit threat to destroy the world's economy [View all]

So, how is this supposed to be resolved?


Mehdi Mohammadi senior advisor to Iran parliament speaker:

Iran’s approach to this war is multi layered. It is not fighting on a single front or relying on a single tool.

The Lebanon front, the missile program, regional proxies, and negotiations are all being used as part of one integrated strategy and operational framework

“If Iran's critical infrastructure is attacked, there will be no critical infrastructure left in occupied Palestine, nor in the complicit Arab family dictatorships in the Persian Gulf. That will mean the end of the global economy as we know it.”
