Hamidreza Hajibabaei, deputy speaker of the parliament, said that any country exports oil in any amount in order to reduce international pressures against the United States and to neutralize the lack of oil exports “should be attacked.”

The deputy speaker of the parliament said: “Whoever stands in the enemy’s trenches—whether in the economic, political, technological, cyberspace, or any other position that helps the United States—should be attacked.”

Hajibabaei also added that the Islamic Republic should encircle the United States in the region.

This member of parliament said: “In a military attack, we dealt them a blow several times stronger than the United States, and we will do so again, and they should not feel at ease in the region.”
