Iran will switch from “reciprocal hits” after attacks to continuous strikes on adversaries, and the U.S. will not be able to control oil prices, the spokesperson for Tehran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters said on Wednesday.

Fun Fact: one of the things the DoD does when they’re not fighting worthless crusades for the oil barons is draw up contingency plans for every possible scenario.
Surprise attacks on allies, alien invasions, etc. These plans have leaked several times over the years, they need to be updated often anyways and everyone does similar planning so it’s never a big deal.
One of the plans was for fighting the entire world. To do it, they planned on using the navy and missile strikes to shut down global oil transport. America is the largest oil producer after all, only Russia was considered a military threat with enough native supply to resist the effort.
Anyways, sure is weird how close we’re getting to being able to do that.
