Iran Warns of Fourfold Retaliation Over Oil Infrastructure Amid US Tensions

Following US President Donald Trump's warning to Iran about potential attacks on its oil pipelines if a ceasefire is not reached, Iranian Vice President Esmail Saghab Esfahani responded with a warning of fourfold retaliation against Gulf countries supporting the US. He stated that damage to Iran's infrastructure would result in quadruple damage to similar infrastructure in those countries. Iranian leader Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf also contested US claims of dominance in the global oil market, emphasizing a balanced power dynamic amid ongoing tensions.
