The terrorist regime in Iran threatened to attack “all economic centers” in the Middle East in the event of continued bombing by the United States and Israel against its territory, in a new escalation that aggravates the regional tension.
The warning was issued by Ebrahim Jabbari, general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who made it clear that the Iranian regime is willing to expand the conflict beyond military objectives.
“We tell the enemy that if he decides to attack our main centers, we will attack all the economic centers of the region,” said the high command, in a message that directly targets the energy and financial infrastructure of the entire Gulf.

The statements were released by the state agency ISNA and come in a context of strong military pressure on Tehran, following the start of US and Israeli air strikes
on Saturday.
Since then, Iran has responded with missile and drone launches against targets not only in Israel, but in different countries in the region, expanding the scope of the conflict, and targeting civilian infrastructure.
Jabbari also referred to the high-impact economic measure taken by the Islamic regime: “We have closed the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, the price of oil exceeds 80 dollars and will soon reach 200.”
The closure of the strait, one of the main transit points for global energy trade, set off alarms in international markets.

The Iranian general's rhetoric is framed in a delusional strategy of pressure that combines military and economic actions against the region and
the world.
Since the beginning of the conflict, Iran has launched missiles and drones against the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. On the second day, the offensive expanded into Oman and Saudi Arabia, amplifying instability across the
Gulf.
However, the threat of attacking “all economic centers” represents a qualitative leap in escalation, since it would involve expanding objectives to critical infrastructure in multiple Middle Eastern countries, deepening the regime's strategy of destabilizing the entire region as a mechanism of pressure.
