Iran warnsoil prices will exceed $200 per barrel after attacks
Iran threatens retaliatory attacks on Gulf energy facilities after Israeli airstrikes near Tehran caused four worker deaths and thick black smoke over the capital. The conflict risks major global oil supply disruptions, with Iran stating "If you can handle oil prices above $200 per barrel, keep playing this game." US attempts to reassure markets failed as fireballs and explosions were heard across Tehran and Karaj. Iran's Revolutionary Guards vow further action against energy infrastructure in Gulf countries if attacks continue, accusing US and Israel of targeting civilians and fuel storage facilities.
