Iran will target American companies in the region if its energy facilities are attacked in the U.S.-Israeli war against the Islamic republic, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Saturday (March 14, 2026). "Our Armed Forces have already answered that they would retaliate if our oil and energy infrastructure are attacked," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told MS NOW. Iran "will attack any energy infrastructure in the region which belongs to an American company or an American company is a shareholder," he added. "They are using the territory of our neighbors to attack us by these kind of rockets and this is absolutely unacceptable. Mr. Trump on Friday (March 13, 2026) threatened to bomb oil infrastructure in Kharg if Iran does not allow free passage of crude through the choked Hormuz Strait.
