Iran speaker threatens to 'irreversibly destroy' region's infrastructure if own attacked

Iran's powerful parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, threatened on Sunday to irreversibly destroy vital infrastructure across the region if the United States and Israel attacked its own.

"Immediately after power plants and infrastructure in our country are targeted, vital infrastructure as well as energy and oil infrastructure across the entire region will be considered legitimate targets and will be irreversibly destroyed," Ghalibaf said in a post on X.

He warned that oil prices would then "rise for a long time."
