US EditionIran Warns Gulf Energy Assets Could Burn if Its Oil Facilities Are Targeted
The IRGC threatens to target regional oil and gas infrastructure linked to the U.S. and allies if Iran’s facilities are attacked, risking wider Gulf energy disruptions.
- On Thursday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that oil and gas infrastructure linked to the United States and Western allies would be set on fire and destroyed if Iran's energy facilities or ports are attacked.
- According to regional accounts, Iranian forces and IRGC-aligned actors have struck multiple commercial ships, and Tehran warned vessels linked to the U.S. or Israel are fair game, amid an escalating Gulf confrontation this week.
- The Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas, has been effectively closed by Iranian strikes, prompting Washington and its allies to release roughly 400 million barrels from strategic reserves.
- The escalating confrontation is prompting fears that a broader regional war could threaten Gulf energy infrastructure and disrupt global oil supplies, while regional oil fields have cut output, raising costs for fuel-dependent sectors.
- Iranian state TV aired a stone-faced presenter reading Mojtaba Khamenei's warning tied to his father's killing, while Iran released no independent video, signalling tight image control as the Strait of Hormuz stays weaponized.
