The source associated with analyst Chananel Aviv reports that Iranian officials are issuing threats against energy infrastructure in the Gulf. The statement, attributed to an unnamed Iranian source, warns of potential strikes on energy stations. The threat follows weeks of escalating rhetoric between Iran, the US, and Israel.
The threat against Gulf energy infrastructure was reported late Wednesday evening on the source associated with Israeli analyst Chananel Aviv. The brief message, in Hebrew, states that 'the Iranians are issuing threats against energy stations in the Gulf,' without specifying which Iranian body issued the warning or naming the targeted stations. The report is attributed to Aviv's own monitoring, with no corroboration from state media or official announcements so far.
This reported threat continues a pattern of escalating Iranian rhetoric over the past week. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, the IRGC threatened to 'land a decisive blow against American sources of fire operating from Israel.' On June 9, the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters issued a general threat directed at the United States. June 7 saw Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf state that US and Israeli assets in the region are 'no longer immune,' and an Iranian commander threatened 'painful strikes.' On June 6, the IRGC warned Gulf states against hosting US bases, saying Washington would eventually leave them to face Iran alone.
The reported threat also mirrors recent unverified claims published on June 9 describing ballistic-missile and suicide-drone launches from southern Iran toward American targets in the Gulf — though those claims remain unconfirmed. The Zioneer has also reported on Israeli intentions to strike Iranian facilities and on strikes targeting Iranian naval infrastructure on Qeshm Island on June 9.
The credibility of this specific threat report remains limited, sourced to a single source with no on-record Iranian official quoted. However, given the sustained high-level rhetorical campaign from Tehran, the report fits the established pattern.
