Iran Warns Oil Trade at Risk if US Targets Its Infrastructure

Iran has issued a stark warning to the United States and Middle Eastern nations over threats to its energy infrastructure. The warning came in response to US President Donald Trump's threat to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant each time Iran targets a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials cautioned that no country would be able to sell oil if Tehran was prevented from doing so. The exchange marks a significant escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran over control of the strategically vital waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global oil transit route, making the standoff a concern for international energy markets.
