Press TV \u2013 March 18, 2026<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says regional energy production facilities linked to the United States will be reduced to ashes as the elite force prepares to respond to attacks on Iran\u2019s natural gas production sites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spokesman of the IRGC\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters\u00a0Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said on Wednesday that Iran\u2019s attacks will target countries whose territories were used to launch airstrikes on Iran\u2019s gas facilities earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cFuel, energy and natural gas infrastructure of the source of the invasion will be set ablaze and reduced to ashes at the earliest opportunity,\u201d the spokesman said in a televised statement.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Wednesday, the IRGC issued a warning note to people living near five major energy production facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar, to immediately evacuate to protect their lives from Iran\u2019s reprisal attacks.<\/p>\n

The warning came right after Iran\u2019s Oil Ministry said four refining facilities in Asaluyeh, a Persian Gulf coastal town home to Iran\u2019s gas processing installations, had suffered damage as a result of US-Israeli airstrikes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, commander of the IRGC Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said in a post on his X account that the force had updated its bank of targets to include \u201coil installations related to the US.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tangsiri said the IRGC will open fire on those installations forcefully and with full strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe warn citizens and workers to keep away from these installations,\u201d said his post.<\/p>\n

Iran has been carrying out reprisal attacks against US military bases and other assets in regional countries since the start of the US-Israeli aggression on February 28.<\/p>\n

However, oil and gas infrastructure was spared to prevent major disruption to regional and international energy supplies.<\/p>\n

Iranian authorities had warned that those facilities would also come under attack if corresponding sites in Iran were hit.<\/p>\n

The Wednesday attacks and Iran\u2019s planned response are expected to cause a major surge in international energy prices, with analysts warning that they could well exceed $150 a barrel, up nearly three times compared to before the aggression on Iran.<\/p>\n
