Iran Promises ‘Utter Ruin’ if War Restarts. Here’s What Could Happen if Diplomacy Fails
US officials say a tentative deal is awaiting approval as Iran warns renewed conflict could spread beyond the region and threaten global energy flows.
- On Thursday, US officials confirmed a tentative agreement with Iran, though military confrontation persists with the US launching strikes in the Strait of Hormuz this week.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned last week that any future retaliation would "feature many more surprises," while Iran's military threatened to open "new fronts" using "new tools."
- Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani, a member of Iran's national security committee, stated that if the US targets Iranian oil facilities, Tehran would strike Gulf Arab states' oil wells—a significant escalation from the 40-day war.
- Energy strategist Umud Shokri told CNN that a simultaneous crisis in the Persian Gulf and near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait could trigger international naval response and raise global oil prices.
- The Revolutionary Guards warned that renewed conflict would spread "far beyond the region," with potential targets including US-operated air bases in the United Kingdom or Germany.
