The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement threatening to halt oil and gas exports through the Strait of Hormuz if U.S. military strikes in the region continue, according to a report by N12. The threat did not specify a timeline or mechanism for implementation. The statement comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States, with the IRGC having issued several similar warnings in recent weeks regarding the strategic waterway. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC previously threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz and has claimed attacks on U.S. bases and vessels. The current threat remains unverified and is based on a single source. No independent confirmation of any change in oil or gas export policy has been reported.
