Tehran: We Will Not Let a Single Liter of Oil Pass Through the Strait of Hormuz

Iran is threatening to block the passage of oil through the Strait of Hormuz if the United States and its allies continue to undermine the price of oil. A spokesman for the Iranian Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters stated that it will not allow 'a single liter of oil' to pass for the benefit of the US and its allies. At the same time, Iran announced that it may target economic centers and banks related to American and Israeli entities in the region, in response to the Israeli attack on an Iranian bank. The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters published a list of offices and infrastructure of American companies with Israeli ties, describing them as 'new targets'. The companies included on the list are Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia, and Oracle. Iran warns that civilians should avoid the area near banks. These threats come at a time of increased tension in the region and concern for the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil trade.
