BlockBeats News, September 7 - Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that the local oil and gas production chain in Iran is widely distributed, easily accessible, and lacks protection, noting that American oil and gas enterprises in related waters and facilities face similar risks.

Ghalibaf warned that if the United States attacks Iran's energy assets, American assets in the region could also face retaliation, adding that Iran has "proven this before" and suggesting outsiders ask about those "bases that are no longer operational." (Jin Shi)
