Iran LIVE: Blasts rip through the Middle East as Tehran wages ‘full-scale economic war’ | World | News

Iran is currently waging a “full-scale economic war” as the regime declares oil and gas facilities “direct and legitimate targets.” More than two weeks before the Epic Rage Operation launched by the USA and Israel against Tehran, the Middle East continues to be shaken by explosions.

Iran is launching dozens of retaliatory strikes against its neighbors, targeting sensitive facilities including US military bases in the Gulf. Following Iran’s latest threat on Wednesday, energy fields in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar were evacuated.

On March 19, it rose to $114 per barrel.
