Mohammad Marandi, an advisor to Iran's negotiating team, issued a stark threat against Gulf Cooperation Council states amid tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. He declared Iran will fight for control of the strategic waterway and succeed. Marandi warned that if the United States escalates the conflict, the Gulf states will 'cease to exist' and advised any foreigners living there to leave, stating the countries will become unlivable. His comments represent a significant escalation in rhetoric, directly threatening the sovereignty and stability of US-allied nations in the region.
