threatened this Saturday once again to attack the facilities of American companies in the Middle East in case its energy infrastructure is attacked by the United States and, after the bombing of the Iranian island of Jarg, the heart of the Islamic Republic’s oil industry.
“In the event that Iranian facilities are attacked, Iranian forces will attack facilities of American companies in the region or companies in which the United States has a stake,” warned Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, according to the Tasnim agency.
The head of Iranian diplomacy affirmed that his country will respond “without a doubt” to any attack against its energy facilities. However, he said Iran will act “with caution to prevent densely populated areas from being reached.
This morning, the Iranian Armed Forces had warned that if there is an attack against the oil, economic and energy infrastructure of the Islamic Republic, “all oil, economic and energy infrastructure belonging to oil companies in the region that have US shares or cooperate with the United States will be destroyed.”
Some warnings that come after the US attack on the island of Jarg
These warnings came after the United States attacked military targets on the island of Jarg last night, where 90% of the oil that Iran exports to the world is stored.
US President Donald Trump described this bombing as one of the “most powerful” of the history of the Middle East.
The Republican leader added that if Iran interferes with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, it could also attack the oil infrastructure of the island, located 25 kilometers from the Iranian coast, which contains the country’s main oil terminal and is the largest crude oil loading point for oil tankers.
