Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened to block oil and gas export routes that serve the United States and its allies, according to a statement reported by Iranian media. The threat did not specify which routes or when the action might be taken. The IRGC has issued a series of warnings in recent weeks, including threats to strike US military bases in the region and warnings to Gulf states against hosting US forces.

The statement comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US, with ongoing negotiations over the nuclear program and regional military postures. The threat remains at the level of rhetoric; no independent confirmation of operational capability or plans is available.
