🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️- The IRGC has released a statement after the missile attacks on multiple oil facilities in the Gulf and Israel, they say we have entered a new phase of the war:

"Part of the announcement of Wave 63, Operation True Promise 4: The Islamic Republic of Iran did not intend to expand the scope of the war to oil facilities, and did not want to harm the economies of friendly and neighboring countries. However, with the enemy’s aggression against energy infrastructure, we practically entered a new phase of the war, and the necessity of defending Iran’s infrastructure forced us to attack energy facilities related to the United States and American shareholders.

Noble nation of Iran: Your brave sons in the armed forces immediately began to take offensive action after the enemy’s malice, and following a heavy and counter-attack until the damage reached the level of the blow, they set fire to a series of oil facilities that are considered to be of American interest in the region.

American-Zionist aggressor: We warn you once again that you made a big mistake in attacking the energy infrastructure of the Islamic Republic, for which the response is underway. If it is repeated again, further attacks on your energy infrastructure and that of your allies will not stop until it is completely destroyed, and our response will be much more severe than tonight’s attacks."
