TEHRAN – Iran’s military warned on March 8 it would target oil sites in the region if Israel continued to strike energy infrastructure in the Islamic republic.
“The governments of Islamic countries are expected to warn the criminal America and the savage Zionist regime of such cowardly, inhumane actions as soon as possible,” Iran’s central military command spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari told state TV.
“Otherwise, similar measures will be taken in the region, and if you can tolerate oil at more than US$200 per barrel, continue this game.” AFP
