An advisor to the IRGC Commander-in-Chief has threatened to set fire to any vessel crossing the Strait of Hormuz and attack regional pipelines, predicting a spike in oil prices to $200.
Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has issued a stark warning that Iranian forces intend to target maritime traffic and energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. According to Iran International, a diaspora-based opposition channel, Jabbari threatened that any ship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted by military forces.
This aggressive military rhetoric was concurrently amplified by domestic Iranian media. آخرین خبر (Akharin Khabar), a state-aligned news aggregator operating inside Iran, quoted the commander directly, utilizing his formal military title: "Sardar Jabbari: We will set fire to any ship that wants to pass through the Strait of Hormuz."
Both outlets highlighted Jabbari's broader intent to completely halt the flow of regional energy supplies. He explicitly emphasized plans to attack oil pipelines, warning that the IRGC will not allow "a single drop of oil to leave the region," according to Akharin Khabar. Driven by these threatened blockades and strikes, Jabbari confidently declared that the price of global oil "will reach $200 in the coming days," a claim reported identically by both Iran International and domestic Iranian sources.
Both the diaspora opposition network and the state-aligned domestic channel reported identical quotes from the IRGC commander, indicating a unified dissemination of this specific military threat across different Iranian media ecosystems.
