Referring to a Wall Street Journal report saying that the US has reinforced its military presence in the Presian Gulf Vahidi said, "These days Americans badly fear that an incident happens in the region and they can't stand against the Islamic Republic's firm positions vis-à-vis that given event."

Addressing Israeli strike threats he said that Washington is against statements regarding the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites as it is aware of Iran's power and that anyone who becomes involved in a conflict with it will come out defeated.
