TEHRAN- A senior Iranian lawmaker has warned that any attack on Iran's energy infrastructure will result in a total disruption of global oil supplies from the Persian Gulf region.

Hamidreza Hajibabaei, Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, made the remarks during an interview with IRIB on Sunday, outlining Iran's strategic posture regarding potential strikes on its oil sectors.

"If Iran's oil is to be targeted, we will strike the region's oil," Hajibabaei stated. "If damage is inflicted on Iranian oil, Iran will act in a way that prevents the United States and the world from receiving oil from this region for a significant period of time."

Hajibabaei suggested that countries such as Saudi Arabia are attempting to insulate themselves from potential fallout.

The deputy speaker dismissed the notion that Washington would show restraint, specifically naming US President Donald Trump. He asserted that "it is impossible for the US, especially Trump, to have the capability to do something and not do it.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive."

To counter this threat, Hajibabaei emphasized that Iran would leverage its geopolitical position to impose its own economic costs, describing the Strait of Hormuz as Iran's ultimate strategic leverage.
