Iran: If Oil Facilities Are Attacked, It Will Destroy Equivalent Facilities Related to the US!
March 14, AFP reported: "The Iranian Armed Forces Command warned that if Iran's oil, economic, and energy infrastructure were attacked, it would destroy equivalent facilities related to the United States. The spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces Command said on Saturday that once Iran's oil, economic, and energy infrastructure was attacked, all oil, economic, and energy infrastructure owned by oil companies in the Middle East that have cooperation with or U.S. investment would be 'immediately destroyed and turned to ashes'!"
The Iranian equivalent countermeasure warning has instantly revealed the complexity of energy games in the Middle East. Historically, during the Iran-Iraq War, oil facilities were frequently damaged, directly leading to a tightening of global supply and volatile oil prices, an impact that is still remembered today. In the current situation, energy facilities have become a key node in the game of all parties. The strong statements from both sides are mutually restraining, and any excessive action taken by either side could trigger a chain reaction, increasing global inflation costs and affecting people's livelihood stability. Unilateral confrontation is unlikely to solve the problem, but instead tends to let risks spill over, endangering the foundation of global energy security.
Facing this complex situation, all parties need to maintain rational restraint and resolve differences through dialogue and consultation. The stability of the Persian Gulf and the smoothness of the energy routes concern the common interests of the world. Only by returning to the track of cooperation can we truly safeguard the bottom line of peace and avoid the situation slipping into an uncontrollable abyss.
