Iran Threatens Energy Facilities in Response to Potential US Strikes

Ankara: Iran's military announced late Wednesday that it would target energy facilities throughout the region if the United States strikes Iranian infrastructure.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters stated that should Washington proceed with its threats, Iranian armed forces would ensure that not a single drop of oil is exported. They added that oil, gas, electricity, and economic facilities across the region would become targets.

The military headquarters further emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, cautioning that no vessel may transit the strategic waterway except through the designated route under previously announced procedures.

The armed forces headquarters also warned that continued US threats and actions would expand the conflict's scope 'to the entire region and even beyond.'

The US has conducted a series of strikes across Iran since last week, while Tehran has retaliated with attacks targeting facilities and bases it claims are used by the US military in several countries in the region.

This exchange of fire persists despite a Pakistan-brokered framework agreement signed by the US and Iran in June, intended to end the conflict that began in February and pave the way for a lasting peace deal.
