Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard issued a stark warning this week, threatening to target Middle Eastern economic centers if US-Israeli military actions continue. General Ebrahim Jabbari declared: "We are telling the enemy that if it decides to hit our main centers, we will strike all economic centers in the region." 💥
The warning comes as Brent crude oil prices surged past $85/barrel – their highest level since July 2024 – with Jabbari claiming Iran has already "closed the Strait of Hormuz" and predicting prices could skyrocket to $200/barrel. 🛢️📈
Analysts suggest this escalation could impact global markets, particularly energy-dependent economies. With 30% of the world's seaborne oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the situation remains fluid as diplomatic efforts intensify behind closed doors. 🌐⚖️
