Hours after US President Donald Trump’s new warning to Tehran, Iranian vice president Esmail Saghab Esfahani has threatened fourfold destruction in the Gulf countries.
In a post on X, Esfahani said Iran will inflict four times the damage on infrastructure of countries supporting the US.
“If our infrastructure, including oil wells, is damaged as a result of the blockade, we guarantee that four times the damage will be inflicted on the same infrastructure in countries that support the aggressor. Our math is different: 1 oil well = 4 oil wells," he wrote on X.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump gave a fresh warning to Tehran, threatening to blow up its oil pipelines if it does not agree to a ceasefire deal to end the war.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that if Iran is unable to continue exporting oil, the pipelines will eventually fail, both mechanically and due to the earth’s natural forces.
