Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Threatens U.S. and Allied Regional Infrastructure
The statement said it would target infrastructure and seek to disrupt access to oil and gas resources in the region for years, while warning U.S. regional allies that past restraint no longer applies.
Fact Check
The strongest usable evidence in this run is the fetched NBC News live coverage page, which explicitly says 'Iran's Revolutionary Guard warned it would deprive the U.S and its allies of the region's oil and gas for years' and places that warning in the context of threatened infrastructure attacks. That aligns closely with the user's statement about targeting infrastructure, disrupting access to oil and gas resources for years, and warning U.S. regional allies that prior restraint no longer applies. However, the original primary statement was not recovered: the Odaily link could not be traced to an upstream source, and all three provided X status URLs failed to fetch. Because the direct primary-source text was not obtained, the claim is best rated likely_true rather than confirmed with high confidence.
