Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning that any attack on its energy infrastructure will result in severe retaliation against Israel, potentially turning Israeli territories into 'scorched land.' The IRGC spokesperson, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, stated that displaced Israelis would be moved to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. This threat follows a series of drone and missile attacks on critical infrastructure in Gulf countries, with at least 135 attacks reported since the conflict began on February 28, 2026. While the statement does not specify a timeline or target, it highlights the increasing vulnerability of energy facilities amid the ongoing US-Israeli war against Iran. The situation has already disrupted global energy markets and shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit point.
