Iran Warns US Oil Firms: Strike Our Assets, Face Retaliation

Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf has issued a warning to US oil and gas companies operating in the region, stating that they are threatened. He said 'Strike our assets and you get struck', implying that any attack on Iranian assets will be met with retaliation. This comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the US.

The exact timing of this statement is unclear, as it appears to have been made during a live feed at 08:14 UTC on September 7, 2026. However, the full transcript was not available until later in the day.

Ghalibaf's comments suggest that Iran is prepared to defend its interests and assets from any potential attacks or strikes by US companies. This rhetoric may be seen as an escalation of tensions between the two countries.
