Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of Iran's Parliament, warned that if Iran's oil exports and security are threatened, the oil exports and infrastructure of other countries in the region will also be at risk.
In a statement on July 22, Ghalibaf told X (formerly Twitter), "The equation of this war is 'all or nothing.' If we cannot sell oil, no one in this region will be able to sell oil either."
He added, "If our security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure will be safe," asserting that security in the Strait can only be ensured when U.S. troops are not stationed there. He also reaffirmed his stance that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war state.
The Iranian military also warned that it would expand its retaliation targets to regional energy facilities if the U.S. attacks its infrastructure again.
The Central Command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated, "Vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz must follow designated routes and pre-passage procedures."
It further warned, "If the U.S. attacks Iranian infrastructure, not a single drop of oil will be exported, and we can target regional oil, gas, power, and economic infrastructure."
