Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to disrupt all oil supplies from the Middle East in response to the reimposition of a U.S. blockade, while overnight U.S. airstrikes on Iran have reportedly wounded over 260 people.
The IRGC issued the threat Wednesday, framing it as retaliation for the restored U.S. sanctions. The move escalates tensions following a period of increased conflict in the region. No specific details were provided regarding *how* Iran would disrupt oil supplies, only that they threatened to do so.

This statement provides insight into the immediate impact of the strikes, though it does not detail the extent of damage or strategic targets.
