TEHRAN (Basirat): Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned his US counterpart not to play with the lion’s tail after Donald Trump’s push to halt Iran’s export of oil, saying a war with Iran would be “the mother of wars” and that control over the Strait of Hormuz is only one of Iran’s advantages.

Tehran (Basirat) :Ayatollah Khamenei described as important the statement of President Hassan Rouhani during his recent visit to Europe that “If there is no Iran oil exports, no country in the region will export oil” and said that it is indicative of the Establishment’s policy and approach. He added, “It is the duty of the Foreign Ministry to seriously follow up on such stances of the President.”
