Iran threatens to halt Mideast energy exports after US reimposes a blockade and intensifies strikes
The IRGC said regional oil and gas exports will be cut off until the United States ends its attacks.
- On Wednesday, the United States reimposed a naval blockade on Iran and intensified its airstrike campaign in retaliation for Tehran's attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
- Renewed fighting follows the collapse of a 60-day interim deal signed last month that was intended to pause conflict and negotiate Iran's nuclear program, prompting both nations to resume back-and-forth attacks.
- American strikes hit an Iranian army barracks, resulting in seven deaths and wounding more than 260 people, while President Donald Trump warned, 'You better make a deal, or you're not going to have anything left.'
- Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard threatened to halt Middle East energy exports over the blockade, while Brent crude oil traded above $85 a barrel, more than 15% higher than pre-war prices.
- Trump indicated additional strikes targeting bridges and power plants could occur by next week unless negotiations resume, as Tehran attempts to outlast the blockade before November midterm elections.
