In Iran, they called to prepare for oil at $200 per barrel after US strikes.

      After the strikes that the United States carried out last night in southern Iran, the official representative of the central operational headquarters "Khatam al-Anbia" of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari, called on the world to prepare for the rise in oil prices to $200 per barrel. "As long as the Americans continue their military adventures in our region, no agreement will be reached. The U.S. government has repeatedly demonstrated that it understands only the language of force. Prepare for oil at $200 [per barrel]," Zolfaghari wrote on the social network X (formerly Twitter). Additionally, the Iranian general threatened the authorities of the United Arab Emirates with destruction, referring to them as "Zionists." "Soon you will be begging us for a ceasefire," he stated. Earlier, an anonymous senior U.S. official told Fox News that on the night of May 26, the U.S. struck two boats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that were laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as an anti-aircraft missile system in the port of Bandar Abbas, aimed at American planes. As Fox News journalist Jennifer Griffin reported on social media X, a representative of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Captain Tim Hawkins, assured that the American side continues to "exercise restraint" within the ongoing ceasefire regime with Iran. The American strikes were carried out against the backdrop of attempts by the U.S. and Iran to conclude a memorandum establishing a 60-day truce for further negotiations. The positions of the parties still contain mutually unacceptable points.
