Tehran Claims Victory as US and Israel Weigh Strikes on Iranian Energy Infrastructure

The conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has escalated further as Tehran claims to have 'won the war,' while reports suggest Washington and Tel Aviv are considering a major military operation against Iran's energy infrastructure.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared that his country had emerged victorious from the conflict and urged authorities to consolidate and cement this achievement. His remarks come amid continued military exchanges and heightened diplomatic uncertainty across the region.

The United States and Israel are reportedly weighing what could become one of the most extensive bombing campaigns against Iran's energy infrastructure, with officials considering carrying out any operation before global financial markets reopen on Monday to limit potential economic disruption.

A cargo of US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is heading to Israel for the first time in nearly three years, as commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues to face disruptions linked to the conflict. The shipment comes amid growing regional tensions and heightened concerns over global oil supplies.
