Commodore Alireza Tangsiri, the Commander of Iranโ€™s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN), has said in a statement following this morningโ€™s Israeli strikes against energy infrastructure in Southern Iran:

โ€œWith the target bank updated, oil facilities associated with America are now on par with American bases and will come under fire with full force.โ€

Tangsiri advised all citizens and workers to avoid these facilities across the Middle East, with this statement as well as earlier evacuation warnings by the IRGC suggesting imminent strikes by Iran against oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

According to Israeli officials who spoke to Axios, this morningโ€™s strikes by the Israeli Air Force against a natural gas processing plant in Southern Iran was coordinated with and approved by the Trump Administration, despite President Trump having previously objected to Israeli strikes against oil depots and other energy infrastructure in Tehran. It is not known if these strikes were also coordinated with other nations in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, whoโ€™s oil and gas facilities will likely suffered the most from potential retaliation for the attack by Iran.
