In a furious and direct response to America’s mᴀssive strike on Kharg Island, Iran has issued one of its strongest threats yet, vowing to “burn all your oil sites” across the Gulf if the United States continues its aggression.
Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s regime reacted swiftly after U.S. B-52s and B-1B bombers, supported by F-35s, obliterated large sections of Kharg Island — Iran’s most critical oil export hub. President Trump had boasted the raid was “total destruction” and warned of further strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. Tehran’s reply was ice-cold and unambiguous.

“The Great Satan and its Zionist partners have crossed the final red line,” declared an IRGC spokesman. “If you touch our oil again, we will burn all your oil sites in the Gulf. Every American-linked terminal, refinery, and platform will turn into a blazing inferno. The price will be beyond anything you can imagine.”
The threat has sent oil markets into turmoil, with prices surging over 8% within hours. Analysts warn that a sustained Iranian campaign against Gulf oil infrastructure could push crude prices above $150 per barrel and trigger a global energy crisis.
This latest exchange comes as Operation Epic Fury shows dangerous signs of collapse. The USS Gerald R. Ford remains crippled by repeated fires, while the USS Abraham Lincoln has faced multiple missile attacks and reduced operations. The U.S. has already burned through more than $11 billion in munitions in the first week alone. Critical radar systems worth billions have been destroyed, interceptor stockpiles are critically low, and multiple American aircraft, including KC-135 tankers, have been lost.

Despite the heavy blow to Kharg Island, Iran continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience. Israeli cities remain under sustained missile pressure, Hezbollah has intensified rocket attacks, and Iranian forces maintain their stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz.
Mojtaba Khamenei appears determined to turn this into a war of survival — and economic pain. By directly threatening America’s oil interests in the Gulf, Iran is making it clear that any further escalation will come at an enormous global cost.
What was supposed to be a swift American victory is rapidly turning into a high-stakes oil war with catastrophic potential. As flames still rise over Kharg Island, Tehran’s chilling promise hangs over the region: cross us again, and we will set your entire energy empire on fire.
