IRGC Goes Ruthless As Iran's New Defence Minister Takes Charge; 'ALL OIL, GAS SITES WILL BE BOMBED'

AI Article: Perplexity Google Lens
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says its missiles are locked onto 1,731 oil and gas platforms across the region, issuing a warning amid continuing tensions with Washington. The statement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump renews threats to strike Iran’s fortified Pickaxe Mountain site, which is linked to concerns over the country’s nuclear programme. Reuters reported on October 16 that Trump said the United States might need to target the site. Meanwhile, Iranian media claims that Washington sought Tehran’s permission to strike without triggering retaliation remain unverified, and there is no independent confirmation that such a request was made. With regional energy infrastructure potentially exposed to further escalation, questions remain over Washington’s next move and how Tehran might respond to any new attack.
