Iran threatens to strike other nations' energy fields if US launches fresh attacks
Iran said U.S. strikes would bring a decisive response as Brent crude rose 24% in July, Reuters reported.
On Saturday, Iranian media outlet Nournews warned that US attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure would prompt strikes on oil and gas fields in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Israel, stating "all will be burned to ashes."
Iran warned against any "adventurous action" by the United States, vowing to retaliate decisively if American forces follow through on President Donald Trump's threats of fresh attacks on Iranian targets.
Hours after the Kuwaiti army destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran against vital facilities on Saturday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned Saudi officials of a "proportionate response" to any regional participation in attacks.
Benchmark Brent crude futures rose 24 per cent in July as threats to the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb persist, creating significant volatility in global energy markets.
President Trump stated he is losing faith in negotiations, claiming "they break their word so often," while military reports indicate the United States faces challenges defending Israel due to insufficient naval forces.
The head of Iranian diplomacy ensures that, in the event of aggression, the response will be decisive and proportionate, and the government supports the holding of an extraordinary EU Council of Ministers.
