The commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Ali Abdollahi, warned the United States not to target Iran's oil infrastructure, declaring that either oil and gas exports are available to everyone or no one. Abdollahi accused Washington of 'malicious' behavior and said any further US attack would draw 'a response more severe than before.' The statement was reported by Iranian media.
The commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Ali Abdollahi, issued a direct threat to the United States on Thursday evening, warning that any attack on Iran's oil infrastructure would be met with severe retaliation and that oil and gas exports would be halted for all if they are threatened for Iran. Abdollahi accused the United States of a 'clear contradiction' between diplomatic overtures and 'malicious' actions, calling this the 'main cause of insecurity' in the region. The warning comes amid an escalating crisis between Washington and Tehran, with US officials signaling growing impatience with negotiations and preparing for potential strikes on Iranian infrastructure. As The Zioneer has reported, senior American officials have described President Trump as losing patience, while Iranian sources have warned that US assets near the Strait of Hormuz are exposed. Earlier this week, a senior Iranian political-security source also claimed Iran holds 'surprises' for its enemies and that oil would 'speak louder than declarations.' The Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters — the IRGC's major engineering and construction command — is a key military entity in Iran's strategic posture. Abdollahi's statement is the latest in a series of belligerent exchanges as both sides warn of a broader confrontation. It remains unclear whether the threat represents a new escalation or a continuation of existing rhetorical posturing.
