Khamenei Advisor Warns: “If Iran’s Oil Is Hit, No One Else Will Export Either”

li Larijani, a senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader and former Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, issued a direct warning amid Israel’s ongoing strikes inside Iran. Speaking to local media, Larijani declared: “If our oil facilities are seriously damaged, we will not allow any country in the region to use its oil.” The threat suggests a potential move toward escalation beyond Israeli-Iranian confrontation, with implications for global energy markets and regional stability. Analysts note that such a move would likely involve attempted attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure or shipping routes—reminiscent of past Houthi strikes on Saudi Aramco and tanker sabotage in the Strait of Hormuz.
