Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, warned that if the US attacks Iran again, the Iranian response will be "harsher than before" and the war will spread beyond the region's current instability. He added a threat to global energy markets: "Either oil and gas exports are possible for everyone, or they will be impossible for anyone," in an apparent reference to the US threat against Iran's Kharg oil island.
In a 12:42 update to this developing story, The Zioneer notes that the current dispatch body, written before the full thread was available, should be rewritten to incorporate the sequence of events as they unfolded. As of Jun 11, the thread shows two versions published at 19:46 Jerusalem and 19:46 Jerusalem, both reporting Major General Ali Abdollahi's threat regarding oil exports. The earliest version (19:46) introduced Abdollahi's warning that either oil and gas exports are available to everyone or no one, alongside a threat of a 'response more severe than before' if the US attacks again. The second version (19:46) added that Abdollahi warned the war could spread beyond the region, and repeated the 'everyone or no one' threat. The current draft's dispatch body, written at an earlier stage, does not yet reflect the full evolution of these two near-simultaneous versions, which both anchor the same basic threat but the second clarifies the geographical scope of escalation. Additionally, the thread's antecedents include reports from Jun 8 (Iranian Army Commander warning that any aggression by Israel would be US responsibility and response would be stronger) and Jun 10 (Khatam al-Anbiya spokesperson threats) and Jun 11 (IRGC spokeswoman threatening 'unprecedented attacks' and senior Iranian official responding to Trump's 'Oil Island' threat). The dispatch body should therefore be restructured to present (1) the 19:46 dual-version development, (2) the Jun 8–Jun 11 antecedent chain showing escalation from a general warning to explicit oil infrastructure threats, (3) the US-Iran background including Trump's theat and Hegseth's threats as reported by The Zioneer on Jun 11, and (4) the fact that all threats remain declaratory with no confirmed operational moves. The rewritten body follows.
