Iran will consider the oil facilities of Israel and its allies its legitimate target in the event of an Israeli attack on Iranian oil refineries in response to Tehran’s recent missile strike on the Jewish state. This statement was made by a member of the Islamic Republic’s parliament, Mohammad Reza Sabagian Bafghi.

“If the Zionists (referring to Israel) attack Iranian oil facilities, our response will be much stronger. Aggressive actions by enemies to weaken Iran’s energy security will not go unanswered. This time, all oil facilities of Israel and the allies of the Zionist regime will become a legitimate target for us,” the MP said in a comment to the Iranian portal Didban Iran.
