‘If we can’t sell oil, no one else will’: Iran threatens regional infrastructure as Hormuz talks stall
TEHRAN, Sept 29 — Iran today threatened to attack infrastructure around the Middle East, intensifying its rhetoric...
Iran threatened to attack regional infrastructure on September 29, escalating tensions as Washington awaited its response to a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The country's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, awaited a formal answer from the US regarding Tehran's proposal. Iran has been targeting ships in the strait, with the US maintaining an economic blockade.
Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that if Iran's security was not guaranteed, no infrastructure in the region would remain safe. The US military has been blocking Iranian ports to prevent oil exports. Discussions between Iran and the US took place in New York, with Iran demanding a seven-day ceasefire and the lifting of sanctions on its oil sector and ports. Iran's Revolutionary Guards denied the US claim that the strait was open, stating it was false.
