Iran says no country in the region will be able to export oil if its exports stay blocked
Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that if Iran is blocked from exporting its oil, no other country in the region will be permitted to do so. He further stated that regional infrastructure would face security risks if Iran's own economic security is compromised.
Why it matters
This statement signals a potential escalation in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, threatening global energy supply chains and regional stability.
Iran’s parliamentary speaker said on Tuesday (September 29, 2026) no country in the region would be able to export oil if the Islamic Republic was prevented from selling its own oil, state media reported.
No regional infrastructure would be safe if Iran had no security, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf added, according to the reports.
