Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has issued a stark warning that the Islamic Republic is prepared for the possibility of a war restarting. The agency explicitly stated that in the event of a conflict, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Saudi Arabia's Aramco oil facilities, the Yanbu refinery, and the UAE's Fujairah port would enter the conflict zone. This threat highlights Iran's potential asymmetric strategy to target critical energy and maritime chokepoints in the region. The statement comes amid heightened tensions and a near-total halt of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
