Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Saturday that Iran will disrupt Persian Gulf oil exports if it is prevented from exporting its own oil by new U.S. sanctions, according to his official website.
Khamenei told Foreign Ministry officials that he supports President Hassan Rouhani's recent remark that if Iran cannot export oil, no other country in the region will do so either, as "a crucial remark expressing the Islamic Republic's approach."
He did not elaborate on how Iran would prevent other regional countries from exporting their oil.
