Mohammad Mokhber, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, has defended the strike on the Ras Laffan gas facility in Qatar.
Globalinfo.az reports, citing Iranian media, that he said the strike has caused global fallout:
“The main deterrent factor is that if Iran’s energy facilities are attacked, similar infrastructure in other countries will also be targeted. If they strike our power plants and petrochemical facilities, we will strike the power plants and petrochemical sites of nine countries.”
The Iranian official described this stance as a key element of the country’s deterrence strategy.
