Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, emphasized in a recent interview that Iran continues to produce drones and missiles, and these activities have not been halted in any way. In response to external threats, he stressed that any action against Iran will come with heavy costs, and in the event of continued war, 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, noting that given the intensity of the war, more capabilities will be available for operations. He continued 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 Iran's Supreme National Security Council 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 scene of confrontation between Iran and foreign powers. He also mentioned 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 will instruct Ansar Allah to close Bab el-Mandeb, he said, "Iran does not need to instruct Ansar Allah for them to understand the strategic importance of Bab el-Mandeb."
Major General Rezaei also addressed rumors about Iran's ability to continue missile and drone attacks, firmly stating that Iran still has the capability 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.
