Reporters learned on the 4th local time that the United States and Israel launched airstrikes that day on Iran’s southwestern petrochemical hub.

On the 4th, the chairman of the Energy Committee of Iran’s Parliament said that Iran’s oil export volume had increased somewhat.

He also said that, at present, fuel supplies across Iran are normal, and that Iran has made the necessary preparations to respond to war. In addition, inspections and assessments of the South Pars natural gas field after the attacks have been completed.

In the early hours of the 4th, a spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya issued a stern statement regarding the military threats that U.S. President Trump had recently sent out. The spokesperson warned that if the U.S. and its allies dared to disrupt Iran’s infrastructure, they would certainly face a firm and decisive retaliation.

Regarding the remarks by U.S. President Trump earlier about damaging Iran’s bridges, power plants, and power and energy infrastructure, the spokesperson said that once the U.S. takes action, Iran’s armed forces will not only carry out a comprehensive strike against all assets of the United States and Israel in the region and in occupied territories, including energy and fuel centers, economic centers, and power plants, and that the scope of the strikes would further expand to Iran’s other widely important assets, as well as to allies and host countries that provide support to the U.S. and Israel.

The statement specifically emphasized that if countries hosting U.S. military bases wish to avoid suffering losses, they must demand that U.S. forces withdraw from their territory. Iran reaffirmed that its armed forces are prepared to defend national security with tougher, more destructive means.
