IRGC threatens to deprive the US and its allies of oil ‘for years’ if US crosses ‘red lines’

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warns it will deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas if Washington crosses Tehran’s “red lines,” a statement carried on state television says.

“The Revolutionary Guards once again declare that if the American terrorist army crosses the red lines, our response will go beyond the region,” the statement says.

It says the paramilitary Guards will target infrastructure “to deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas in the region for years.”

“America’s regional partners should also know that until today, we have exercised great restraint for the sake of good neighborliness and have had some reservations in choosing targets for retaliation, but all these reservations have since been removed,” it says.
