Iran security official Rezaei tells European states war and terror come at a price

In a post on his X account late on Friday, Iran's top security official Mohsen Rezaei criticized European states for their stance on the conflict with Iran. Rezaei wrote, “Just yesterday, Europe took pride in the dirty work of the Zionist regime. Today, it’s whining about billions the war with Iran is costing it.” He further emphasized, “When you cheered on war crimes, did you think the fallout wouldn’t hit you, too? War and terror come at a price. Now, it’s your turn to pay.”

Rezaei is a senior figure in Iran's security apparatus, and his remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Western countries. The post appears to reference European support for Israel and the economic consequences of the conflict. The statement did not specify which European states or what specific costs were being referred to.

The comments were reported by Mehr News Agency (MNA), which identified Rezaei as Iran's top security official. The post reflects Iran's position that European countries share responsibility for the consequences of the conflict due to their perceived support for the Zionist regime.

According to Mehr News, Rezaei's post on X was published late on Friday and included strong criticism of Europe's role. The report by Mehr News added that Rezaei used the platform to convey that war and terror have a price, and that European states are now facing that cost.
