Iran’s Ambassador to Georgia: “No Country Is Protected from the Consequences of a Regional Crisis”

“Let us pay attention to this phrase: no country is protected from the consequences of a regional crisis. The crisis is much closer than it may seem at first glance,” Iran’s Ambassador to Georgia, Seyed Ali Moujani, wrote in a social media post on March 31. 

He accompanied the post with an image showing a warning engraved on a car’s side mirrors: “Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.”

Several hours after publishing the post, Moujani’s Facebook account disappeared and can no longer be found (17:57, March 31, 2026).

“No one can ignore one fact about Donald Trump and U.S. policy: when some countries — whether unintentionally or in haste — allow external adventurers into their space and territory, sooner or later they end up paying the price within their own borders.

Today, the signs are clear: disruptions to export routes, capital outflows, and growing public anxiety driven by the consequences of a prolonged war, along with escalating risks — including the possibility of the United States using nuclear weapons — all stand before decision-makers in smaller countries.

Now, on the thirty-second day of the war, the White House is even considering shifting the costs of this conflict onto countries located south of Iran.

This is precisely the moment when short-term decisions and miscalculations turn into long-term challenges.

Those who supported Donald Trump yesterday are now being forced to pay the price for that decision.

This approach continues the same policy that Joe Biden also periodically pursued when opening new fronts. Today, even some NATO allies are opting for a ‘policy of distancing themselves from Washington.’

Let us pay attention to this phrase: no country is protected from the consequences of a regional crisis.

The crisis is much closer than it appears at first glance,” the Iranian ambassador to Georgia writes.

It is unclear whether the ambassador’s statement refers to reports circulated last night that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a phone call with Georgian Dream Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

“Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Georgia Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze today. They discussed areas of mutual interest including security in the Caucasus and Black Sea region,” the U.S. Embassy quoted Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott.
