Iran Threatens Regional Oil Infrastructure Amid Hormuz Bypass & US Talks

Iran has escalated rhetoric, threatening to halt all Middle East oil exports and attack regional energy infrastructure if its own oil exports remain blocked or security is not guaranteed. This comes as Gulf states have partially bypassed the Strait of Hormuz, reducing Iran's leverage and restoring crude flows to 70-80% of pre-war levels. The threats are largely rhetorical but signal a potential shift towards broader infrastructure strikes.
