A senior adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has stated that Tehran will strike regional economic and oil facilities if its main centers come under attack.
“America is in need of oil. Let them know that at this moment we have closed the Strait of Hormuz and will not allow ships to pass. We have also announced to the world that we will strike any country that seeks to take fuel from here,” said Ebrahim Jabbari.
Earlier, media reported that oil production at the Rumaila supergiant oil field in Iraq had been completely halted. It was also noted that Iraq has suspended oil exports to Turkey. Against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East, approximately 200,000 barrels per day have been removed from the market. Production has been reduced to 50,000 barrels per day solely for domestic consumption.
