Iran threatens to stop oil exports from the Middle East, Trump warns in a stern response


Published: 11:45 11 March 2026
Amid the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, new concerns have arisen about oil supplies. Iran's influential military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has threatened to stop oil exports from the entire region if the US and Israel continue to attack. They claim that if the current situation continues, "not even a liter of oil" will be allowed to be exported from the Middle East.
US President Donald Trump has reacted strongly to this warning by the IRGC. He said that if Iran tries to stop oil transportation through the important sea route of the Strait of Hormuz, the country will face a much stronger military attack than before.
A large amount of oil from the Middle East enters the world market through this channel, known as one of the world's most important energy transport routes. Various international reports have mentioned that the movement of cargo ships on this waterway is also being disrupted in many cases due to the ongoing conflict. As a result, it is feared that if the situation becomes more complicated, it could have a major impact on the global energy market.
Earlier, Trump claimed that the ongoing war could end very quickly. However, a statement by the IRGC published in Iranian state media responded to that comment. It said that Iran will determine when the war will end and that the current military situation is under the control of the Iranian armed forces.
Meanwhile, in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump warned Iran in strong language. He said that if an attempt is made to stop the flow of oil in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States could launch a military attack about 20 times more powerful than ever before.
Trump also claimed that an attack would be launched that would target Iran's critical infrastructure and could make the country's recovery process very difficult. However, at the same time, he expressed hope that the situation would not reach that stage and that it would be possible to avoid the spread of the conflict.
