As the security situation continues to evolve in West Asia and the Gulf region, Mohammad Hossein Ziyaeenia, the Deputy Representative of Iran's Supreme Leader in India, has said that every country can play a role in facilitating an end to hostilies in West Asia.

During an interview withon Tuesday, Ziyaeenia framed the current West Asian crisis as a struggle between "oppression" and "self-defence," questioning the global community's priorities in the face of rising human costs.

Responding to a question on the role of major powers, Ziyaeenia said, "In this conflict, every country can play a role. Every country can play a role, positive or negative."

Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has issued a sharp warning to Washington, claiming that the elite force is prepared to employ unconventional methods should tensions escalate further.

According to Iranian media Press TV, Mohammad Akbarzadeh, the deputy for political affairs of the IRGC Navy, stated that the maritime force has "surprise tactics" in store for the United States if it makes any new miscalculation.

The warning underscores a heightening of military rhetoric as the IRGC Navy signals its readiness to respond to any perceived aggression. Akbarzadeh further indicated that in the event of fresh US military action against Iran, the IRGC Navy would deploy its newly developed capabilities.

The conflict in West Asia began following US-Israeli joint military strikes on Iran on February 28, which killed Iran's 86-year-old Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Tehran, in retaliation, targeted Israel and US assets in several Gulf countries, causing disruption in the waterways and affecting international energy markets and global economic stability.
