Iran's Vice President Warns of Severe Retaliation Against Attacks on Energy Facilities

Odaily reported on the 24th, citing Iranian sources, that Iran's Vice President, Esmaeil Saghaf Esfahani, stated that Iran would severely retaliate against any attack on its energy facilities. Speaking at a rally in Eslamshahr, Esfahani said that if the enemy miscalculates the situation again, Iran's strategy will escalate. Iran's response to any potential attack will by no means stop at "an eye for an eye," which is merely the first step. "If any of Iran's oil wells is attacked, we will target the oil fields of the country from whose territory the attack was launched," Esfahani said. He added that Iran is fully prepared to maintain a continuous energy supply, with all arrangements in the energy and electricity sectors in place, so the public need not worry. (CCTV News)
