Iran VP vows strong retaliation for any attack on energy facilities

Iranian Vice President Ismail Saghab Isfahani stated on April 24 that Iran would retaliate forcefully against any attack on its energy facilities. Speaking at a rally in Eslamshahr, Isfahani warned that Iran would adopt a more severe response strategy if its enemies were to miscalculate the situation again. He said that Iran's response to a potential attack would not be limited to a proportional, eye-for-an-eye measure, which he described as merely the first step. He added that if even a single Iranian oil well were attacked, Iran would target the oil fields of the aggressor nation. Isfahani emphasized that Iran is fully prepared to maintain its energy supply and that its energy and power sectors are ready, reassuring the public that there is no cause for concern.
