  • Iran's military warned the U.S. that oil and gas exports could be halted for everyone if U.S. threats against Iranian infrastructure continue.
  • The warning came after President Trump vowed to "take control" of Iranian energy markets.
  • Iran's Parliament speaker cautioned the U.S. against "hasty decisions" that could lead to an "endless quagmire."

Iran's military has issued a stark warning to the United States, stating that oil and gas exports in the region could cease entirely if U.S. threats against Iranian energy infrastructure persist. The warning, issued by the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, implies a retaliatory measure that would affect all parties involved.

Either oil and gas exports will be possible for everyone, or they will not be possible for anyone.

— Iran's Joint Chiefs of StaffThe Iranian military's warning to the U.S. regarding potential disruptions to regional oil and gas exports.

"Either oil and gas exports will be possible for everyone, or they will not be possible for anyone," the military command declared, as reported by Iran's state broadcaster IRIB. This statement directly follows recent social media posts by U.S. President Donald Trump, who asserted that the United States would "take full control" of Iran's oil and gas markets in the near future.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of Tehran's negotiation team and speaker of the Iranian Parliament, further cautioned the U.S. against what he termed "inappropriate strategic and impulsive decisions." He warned that such actions could worsen the situation, damage energy infrastructure, destabilize markets, and potentially trap the U.S. in an "endless quagmire" from which extrication would take years.

Inappropriate strategic and impulsive decisions will turn everything for the worse, destroy energy infrastructure, blow up markets, and plunge you into an endless quagmire from which you will not be able to get out for years.

— Mohammad Bagher GhalibafThe Iranian Parliament speaker's warning to the U.S. about the consequences of aggressive actions against Iran.

Ghalibaf concluded his remarks with a clear message of deterrence, stating, "You will discover a different Iran." The exchange highlights escalating tensions between the two nations, particularly concerning energy security and regional stability.

You will discover a different Iran.

— Mohammad Bagher GhalibafA concluding statement from the Iranian Parliament speaker, signaling a strong message of deterrence to Washington.
