Hamidreza Hajibabaei, Vice President of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, in recent remarks referred to the economic and oil blockade on Iran and emphasized that the goals of the Islamic Republic have no geographical limitations. He cited the statements of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, asserting that Iran does not accept any limitations in defending its interests.
Iran's War with the United States and the Zionist Regime
Hajibabaei, in this conversation, pointed out the current war between Iran and the United States and the Zionist regime, stating that this war is not limited to military borders but has also extended to economic and cognitive domains. He emphasized that this is a full-scale war and that the people and officials of Iran must be united and cohesive in defending their country.

Emphasis on Defending Iran's Energy
The Vice President of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, referring to the oil and economic blockade on Iran, said: "If Iran's oil is to be sanctioned and blockaded, then all oil must be blockaded." These statements clearly reflect Iran's approach to Western sanctions, especially those from the United States. Hajibabaei further added that if Iran's energy is targeted, the energy of other countries must also be pressured.
He also stated: "These actions are a form of defense, not a military attack" and emphasized that Iran has the right to defend itself from all its points. In this context, any cooperation with the United States and assistance to this country in various military, economic, and technological fields could be considered a target for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
These remarks by the Vice President come at a time when Iran is under pressure due to oil and economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries. In this regard, concerns about the consequences of these sanctions on the country's economy and their impact on people's livelihoods have increased.
Consequences and International Reactions
Given the current conditions and Hajibabaei's statements, it seems that the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to show the international community that sanctions cannot weaken the will of the Iranian nation. On the other hand, this approach may provoke severe international reactions and escalate existing tensions.
Ultimately, considering the repeated emphasis by Iranian officials on the non-acceptance of geographical limitations in the goals of the Islamic Republic, it remains to be seen what impact these developments will have on Iran's domestic and foreign policies.
