Lieutenant General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, emphasized in a recent interview that Iran continues to produce drones and missiles, and these activities have not been suspended in any way. In response to external threats, he stressed that any action against Iran will incur heavy costs, and if the war continues, Iran has all the necessary tools to respond.
Iran's readiness to continue the war
Rezaei stated that Iran has not utilized all its capabilities in previous stages, pointing out that given the intensity of the war, more capabilities will be available for entering operations. He added that the continuation of the current situation has strategic consequences, one of which will be the instability of energy markets in the next three years. This situation has also affected Iran's relations with the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, which are rapidly redefining these relations.

New agreements and Gulf security
The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran further referred to the topic of agreements with the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, stating that these countries must reach an agreement on Gulf security to prevent this region from becoming a battleground between Iran and foreign powers. He also referred to ongoing negotiations to create a new security architecture and emphasized that Gulf security cannot be completely entrusted to non-regional countries.
Rezaei also referred to Iran's relations with Ansar Allah in Yemen, emphasizing that Ansar Allah is not an Iranian military unit and that the Yemenis themselves decide the fate of Yemen's territory. In response to the question of whether Iran would give orders to Ansar Allah to close Bab al-Mandab, he said: "Iran does not need to instruct Ansar Allah for them to understand the strategic importance of Bab al-Mandab."
Lieutenant General Rezaei also responded to rumors about Iran's ability to continue missile and drone attacks, firmly stating that Iran still has the capacity to continue these operations. He added that if the war continues and maritime routes become tools of economic warfare, every player must reassess their tools.
