Iran Guards say will block oil exports as long as war continuesTEHRAN, March 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Iranian forces will not allow the export of oil from the region to allies of the United States and Israel as long as the war continues, a Revolutionary Guards spokesman said Tuesday. Iran has responded with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and US interests across the region. Shipping traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly 20 percent of the world's crude oil usually transits, has been severely disrupted. Iranian forces have repeatedly targeted oil tankers passing through the strategic waterway since the war began. "Their efforts to reduce and control the price of oil and gas will be temporary and fruitless," IRGC spokesman Naini said.
