The command of the Iran Hatem-ul-Anbiya Central Base announced that they will launch attacks on banks connected to the US and Israel in the region. Spokesman Ibrahim Zulfikari stated that they will not back down from the Strait of Hormuz decision, saying, "The US will not be able to control oil prices. We will not allow a single liter of oil to reach the US, the Zionists, and their allies. Be prepared for the price of oil to rise to $200 a barrel, as the price of oil is dependent on the regional security that you destabilize."
The war between the US-Israel and Iran has reached a point of no return due to Tehran's refusal to abandon its decision to close the Strait of Hormuz. The closure of Hormuz, which is vital for global oil trade, deeply affects international markets, while a new statement has come from Iran.
ANOTHER HORMUZ THREAT FROM IRAN
The Iranian Central Base Command of Hatem al-Anbiya stated that they would respond to the attack on Iranian banks and announced that they would target US and Israel-linked economic and banking centers in the region. Command spokesman Ibrahim Zulfikari said that the US would not be able to control oil prices.
"OIL PRICE WILL RISE TO 200 DOLLARS"
Zulfikari stated: "The US will not be able to control oil prices. We will not allow a single liter of oil to reach the US, the Zionists, and their partners. Any ship or tanker associated with them will be a legitimate target. Be prepared for the price of a barrel of oil to rise to 200 dollars, because the oil price depends on the regional security you destabilize," he said.
ARAKCHI: OIL MARKETS FACING THE BIGGEST SUPPLY DISRUPTION IN HISTORY
On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Minister Arakchi, in a statement regarding the Hormuz tension made the other day, said, "Oil markets are facing the biggest supply disruption in history. This disruption is greater than the total of the Arab Oil Embargo, the Iranian Islamic Revolution, and the Kuwait invasion."
HORMUZ STRAIT AT THE CENTER OF TENSION
The Strait of Hormuz, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is known as a strategic transit point for global energy markets. It is reported that approximately one-fifth of the world's oil supply is transported through this narrow waterway.
Recently, due to increasing military activity in the region and the effects of the war, it is stated that there have been serious disruptions in tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. Some oil tankers are reportedly waiting in the region due to security concerns, and maritime traffic has occasionally come to a standstill.
OIL MARKETS SENSITIVE
Energy markets are closely monitoring developments in the Strait of Hormuz. Experts suggest that if the strait is closed or oil shipments are disrupted, there could be sharp increases in global oil prices.
Trump's statements are also being closely watched in energy markets for this reason, and it is assessed that the US administration wants to convey the message that it will not allow the flow of oil in the strait to be disrupted.
