Iranian Parliament Speaker Kalibaf warned on the 7th that if the US attacks Iran's oil and gas assets, America's energy assets in the Gulf region will be retaliated by Iran. Kalibaf posted on social media that the Gulf region's oil and gas production chain is “huge, easy to access, and exposed to risk,” and that US oil and gas companies in the region are also facing the same risks. “Hit our assets and you will be hit too,” he warned. US Secretary of Defense Hegseth posted on social media on the 5th that Iran's tanker fleet is “defenseless” and that if Iran attacks US warships, the US side will destroy Iranian tankers.
