Tehran threatens global energy sector in response to Israeli occupation strikes

TEHRAN, March 09 (YPA) – Iran has shifted toward a direct threat against vital infrastructure and global energy routes, responding to Israeli occupation airstrikes that targeted infrastructure across seven Iranian cities.

The “Khatam al-Anbiya” Central Headquarters issued a statement confirming that the armed forces have moved past the policy of “strategic patience,” warning of reciprocal attacks on fuel depots.

The Iranian position included a firm warning to the international community that oil prices could reach the $200 per barrel mark if escalation continues.

Immediate Economic Impact:

• Brent Crude: Prices approached $93 immediately following the threats.
• Market Outlook: Futures indicate a potential surge past $115 per barrel when markets open this Monday.

Observers note that Tehran aims to raise the “cost of confrontation” by placing the global economy in direct contact with the repercussions of the military conflict, as major capitals monitor the situation with extreme caution.
