Iran Press/Iran news: General Hatami warned of the dire consequences of the West's silence on the United States' bold decisions against other countries, noting that a new form of Nazism has emerged in disguise of Trumpism.
"If this approach continues, the world might be pushed into ill-fate clashes and therefore, it is time to prevent the rise of another Hitler on the global scene," General Hatami warned west as addressing the Moscow Security Conference on Wednesday, Iran Press reported.
"I don't assume US claims of zeroing Iran's oil exports a practical policy," Iran Defense Minister said, adding that the West's silence on Washington's behaviors and moves would entail grave repercussions for the world similar to the World War II.
Referring to US action to stop all waivers on Iran's oil sanction and its plan to zero Tehran's crude sales, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said that his country will make use of defensive tools to combat Washington's hostile measures and sanctions.
"Welfare of the Iranian nation is a part of our vital interests and I consider myself allowed to use all legitimate tools, including defensive instruments, to meet these interests and confront the US economic terrorism," General Hatami said,
He emphasized on strengthening Iran's defense power and mights within the framework of active deterrence doctrine.
The White House said on Monday waivers for China, India, Japan, South Korea and Turkey would expire in May, after which they could face US sanctions themselves.
Iran will export oil as much as it can
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Wednesday reacted to the United States’ hawkish moves against the Islamic Republic’s oil sector, assuring that Iran will continue its oil exports as much as it intends.
“Their efforts won’t get them anywhere. We will export our oil as much as we need to and we intend to,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“They have wishfully blocked the way for us, but the vigorous nation and vigilant officials—if they work hard and determinedly—will open many blockades,” Iran's Leader said.
Also Iranian President said that Iran is ready to defend itself against US pressure and at the same time is ready to negotiate.
“We always favour negotiation and diplomacy, as we are ready for war and defence, if they lift all pressures and apologise for their illegal acts, showing mutual respect,” added Rouhani.
The President added, “The United States is not ready for negotiation at all, and what it is doing is to defeat the Iranian nation with the aim of coming back to Iran”. 101/205
