Iran threatens to ‘set region’s oil and gas on fire’ if energy infrastructure attacked
TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — Iran threatened on Thursday to wreak havoc on the region’s oil and gas industry if its own energy infrastructure was attacked during its war with the US and Israel.
“We will set the region’s oil and gas on fire with the slightest attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure and ports,” said a spokesman for the Iranian military’s central operational command, known as Khatam al-Anbiya.
