> Iran is prepared to strike oil tankers using the Strait of Hormuz and target other oil-export routes in the Persian Gulf region if neighboring countries join US sanctions, Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said. He warned that no oil would leave the Gulf or Strait and said Tehran would damage the interests of states supporting the US economic war.
