Iran Warns US Energy Assets in Gulf Vulnerable to Retaliation

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has taken a turn for the worse as Iran threatens to retaliate against US attacks on its assets, warning that energy infrastructure across the Gulf is vulnerable.

Tensions have escalated with recent strikes between the US and Iran, and Iran has announced new restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said, 'Strike our assets and you get struck,' after US and Iranian strikes on shipping at the weekend that pushed oil prices up near six-week highs on Monday.
