Iran Possesses Capability to Cripple West Asia’s Energy Infrastructure, Atlantic Council Report States

A report by The Atlantic Council highlights that while closing the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt global energy markets, Iran holds a more potent weapon: the ability to destroy energy infrastructure across West Asia. This assessment comes amid rising energy prices following perceived aggressions against Iran.

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, The Atlantic Council has published a report examining the potential consequences of a strategic closure of the Strait of Hormuz on global energy markets and price fluctuations. The report suggests that the negative impacts of closing the strait would be reversed once it is reopened.

However, The Atlantic Council further elaborated that Iran possesses a more formidable capability than simply closing the Strait of Hormuz. This capability involves the potential to destroy all energy infrastructure throughout West Asia.

This assessment coincides with a significant increase in global energy prices, attributed to the commencement of what is described as American-Zionist aggression against Iran. This development has drawn considerable criticism towards Donald Trump, identified as the initiator of this aggression.

Tehran has explicitly stated its position that all origin points of aggression against Iran are considered legitimate targets and will be subjected to retaliatory measures.
