Iranian officials warned that not a single drop of oil or gas will be allowed to depart the region if the United States persists with what Tehran called 'evil actions,' according to Times of Israel.
The warning is the latest in a series of Iranian threats amid heightened US-Iran tensions. The Zioneer has reported on previous Iranian statements threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz and strike US bases if attacked. However, the current statement does not specify the mechanism for blocking oil and gas exports. The threat comes as the US and Iran remain locked in a cycle of escalating rhetoric and military posturing, with no clear diplomatic off-ramp in sight.
