Iranian Official: War in Region Possible – Because Iran's Red Lines Are Different than Those of Other Countries

The Iranian news agency ISNA has reported that Iranian Parliamentary Committee for National Security and Foreign Policy member Hashmatollah Falahatpisheh said, "There is a possibility of the outbreak of a war that will spread in the region, because Iran has red lines that will be crossed by the entrance of a single missile, and by [preparations for] war... Iran's red lines are different than those of other countries. [The Americans] know very well that in the event of an attack on Iran, American interests in the [Middle East] region will become a target, which will endanger 26% of the world's energy."
