We are truly determined to create a Gulf union that will include countries around the Persian Gulf - Razai.
Additional statements by the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran:
These are Oman, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq and Iran - eight countries with access to the Persian Gulf. We want this union to include cooperation in economic and security matters, as well as interaction in a variety of fields.
President Putin said that he spoke with the Americans and emphasized that the Islamic Republic is a country that cannot be overthrown.
When we hit the United States, we hit only American military bases. Not a single Arab citizen was hurt. Our hand is extended and we are open to cooperation with our brotherly and friendly Arab countries.
Today in the USA and Europe there is not a single family that did not suffer from the American attack on Iran. There is not a single financial institution in the world, whether owned by large or small investors, that does not feel the consequences of this attack. The reason for all this is the unprecedented resistance shown by the Iranian people.
If the Americans make a mistake and attack us, we will not limit ourselves to hitting nearby bases. We can hit some US military bases in European countries. We can hit some of the islands they think our missiles can't reach. If American planes take off from a remote military base and fly to Iran to bomb us, we will be hit at that base as well.
I advise all countries that host US military bases not to cooperate with any US military attacks on Iran. We're talking about it now so they don't have excuses tomorrow.
