Iran says will hit all Mideast economic hubs if US-Israeli attacks persist
March 3, 2026 09:51 pm
An Islamic Revolutionary Guard general warned Tuesday that continued US-Israeli attacks would see Iran conduct reprisals against “all economic centres” in the Middle East.
“We are saying to the enemy that if it decides to hit our main centres, we will hit all economic centres in the region,” said Ebrahim Jabbari.
“We have closed the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, the price of oil is above US$80 and will soon reach US$200,” he was quoted as saying by Iranian news agency ISNA, as Brent crude climbed above US$85 for the first time since July 2024.
