A member of Iran's parliamentary Energy Commission, Malek Shariati, has publicly called for Iran to attack oil installations and pipelines in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. He argued that such actions are necessary to keep global oil prices above $100 per barrel, which would at least double Iran's revenues. The statement represents a significant escalation in rhetoric, directly advocating for economic warfare against neighboring Gulf states. It comes amid heightened regional tensions and a U.S. naval blockade targeting Iranian oil exports.
