BREAKING: Tension As Iran Threaten To Paralyse Global Oil Flow War To Red Sea
Iran has threatened to paralyse global oil flow and expand the war to the Red Sea if the US launches new attacks.
After Donald Trump declared an end to the ceasefire, Iran laid out the steps it would take if strikes on the Islamic Republic continued.
The first step of its response would be stopping all oil leaving the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait, the choke point linking the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Iran also said it would destroy neighbouring countries’ oil infrastructure.
“Any renewed aggression on the part of the enemy must be met with a response that directly targets the vital interests of the United States and its allies,” said the plan, which was published by the Fars news agency.
The threats came after Donald Trump declared an end to the ceasefire with Iran.
The US president launched overnight strikes on Tehran and said attempts to negotiate with the regime were “a waste of time”.
In an angry address at the Nato summit in Ankara, Mr Trump told reporters: “These are evil, sick people,” and described them as scum and a cancer that needs to be cut out.
Asked specifically about the peace deal, Mr Trump said: “To me, I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them any more.”
