Iran will revise its policies on the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism outside its borders, if US economic sanctions remain in place, a senior lawmaker said, warning the West about the fallout from such a change of stance.
“If sanctions continue, we will make new decisions on countering terrorist groups and drug smuggling to other countries,” Hossein Naqavi-Hosseini, a member of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, told ISNA in remarks published on Sunday.
His comments came after President Hassan Rouhani told senior parliamentarians from Afghanistan, Pakistan and three other countries that western nations will not be safe from a “deluge” of drugs, asylum seekers and attacks if US sanctions weaken Iran’s ability to contain them.
