Tehran has warned the United States that it will respond if there are any new attacks on its oil facilities on Kharg Island, Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Abu al-Fazl Shekarchi told Tasnim News Agency on Monday. Shekarchi said Iran would destroy all oil and gas facilities of any country involved in such attacks. On Saturday, US forces struck around 90 Iranian military targets on the island, a key hub for Iran’s oil exports, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said. US President Donald Trump also warned that any interference with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would lead to action against Iran’s oil infrastructure on the island.
