Iran's Energy WAR ESCALATES: Tehran Hits Kuwait Refinery

    Iran's Energy WAR ESCALATES: Tehran Hits Kuwait Refinery

    Iran has drawn a firm red line, warning of devastating retaliation if its infrastructure is targeted, just as US President Donald Trump signals possible strikes on bridges, power plants and critical assets. In an escalation, Iranian-linked strikes have reportedly hit a Kuwaiti refinery, triggering fires and raising alarm across the Gulf. Tehran has also flagged US- and Israel-linked energy and economic hubs as potential targets, hinting at a much wider conflict footprint. IRGC-linked voices, including Ebrahim Zolfaghari, have warned that any attack on Iran’s infrastructure will be met with far more destructive retaliation across allied territories in the region.
