Iran has issued a stern warning, vowing a "decisive response" to any aggression, including attacks on its infrastructure. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi declared that any nation or entity contributing to such aggression would be deemed a "legitimate target."

“

Our defense doctrine is clear: eye for an eye. Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response. Those who contribute to such aggression, whatever the kind of support, will also be considered as legitimate targets.

The equation of this war is clear: either all or none! In a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil. If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe, and the security of the strait is in the absence of American forces.

This sentiment was echoed by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who linked Iran's security to regional stability. "The equation of this war is clear: either all or none! In a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil," Ghalibaf said on X. He added, "If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe, and the security of the strait is in the absence of American forces."

The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and if any vessel is to pass through the Strait, it must only do so via the designated route and in accordance with the previously announced arrangements.

Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters further escalated the rhetoric, reporting that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The headquarters warned that if the U.S. carries out its threats against Iran's civilian infrastructure, Iran's armed forces will prevent any oil exports. "The oil, gas, electricity, and economic infrastructure of the region will be targets," the headquarters stated, according to Press TV. They also cautioned that repeated threats from the U.S. would only lead to the expansion of the conflict in the region and beyond.

if America's threats against Iran's civilian infrastructure are carried out, the armed forces will not allow even a single drop of oil to be exported, and the oil, gas, electricity, and economic infrastructure of the region will be targets.
