After missile attacks on U.S. bases, Iran and its Revolutionary Guard warned that continued U.S. “reckless” actions could trigger consequences including blocked oil and gas exports through the key energy chokepoint.
Iran has threatened a full shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz following missile attacks on U.S. bases, with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard saying the United States would bear responsibility for the consequences if the strategic waterway were closed and oil and gas exports were disrupted, according to statements cited by Odaily and attributed to Jinshi. The warning has raised concerns about global energy security, potential disruption to energy flows, heightened geopolitical tensions and broader market risks if the situation escalates.
