Iran’s highly effective Islamic Progressive Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday issued a stark warning to Gulf countries, asserting oil manufacturing across the Middle East will most certainly be in chance if their territories are ancient to launch attacks against Iran.
Maj. Gen. Majid Mousavi, commander of the Guards’ aerospace pressure, talked about countries in the contrivance mustn’t enable their land or facilities to be ancient by Iran’s adversaries.
“The southern neighbours must know that if their geography and facilities are ancient in the carrier of the enemies to attack the Iranian nation, they must uncover farewell to oil manufacturing in the Middle East,” Mousavi was quoted as saying by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.
The warning comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and its regional rivals, particularly the United States and Israel, as a fragile ceasefire hangs in the balance.
Iran has repeatedly cautioned Gulf countries—many of which host US military bases—against allowing their territories to be used for military operations. Nations such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar are key strategic partners of Washington and play a critical role in global energy markets.
Any disruption to oil production in the region would have far-reaching consequences, as the Middle East accounts for a significant share of global crude supply. The Strait of Hormuz, located near Iran’s southern coast, remains a critical route for energy shipments, with nearly a fifth of the world’s oil passing through it.
The latest remarks underscore rising fears that the conflict could spill over into a wider regional crisis, potentially threatening global energy security and driving up oil prices if tensions continue to escalate.
