‘No infrastructure will be safe’: Ghalibaf's promise to stop oil trade a ‘dangerous escalation'

An Iranian parliamentary leader, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, issued a warning that if Iran's security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure in the region will be safe, potentially disrupting oil trade. This statement comes amid recent Iranian attacks on infrastructure in Kuwait and Bahrain, including a power plant and water desalination facility. A Bahraini analyst criticized Ghalibaf's remarks as a dangerous escalation, noting that they blur the line between targeting U.S. assets and Gulf state economies. While the analyst cautioned against interpreting the threat as a genuine plan, he emphasized that Iran's history suggests such statements often lead to regional instability. The situation highlights growing tensions in the Gulf region.
