Iranian leaders warn of global insecurity following oil boycott
(VOVWORLD) - "The world powers know that if the oil boycott is fully sanctioned and Iran's oil exports are reduced to zero, international waterways cannot have their former security," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned on Wednesday during a meeting with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

He added that the US’s unilateral pressure on Iran cannot be in its favor and does not guarantee its security in the region and the world.
In a speech at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif reiterated President Rouhani’s comment, warning that Tehran might act “unpredictably” in response to “unpredictable” US policies under President Donald Trump. Mutual unpredictability will lead to chaos, Zarif said.
