# Iran warns Gulf states of retaliation against energy infrastructure 2026-08-06T23:45:40+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Iran has warned Gulf countries that any fresh US strike on its territory could trigger attacks on oilfields, refineries, power grids, water systems and transport networks, according to Reuters reports carried by The Economic Times and The Times of India. The message was delivered through diplomatic calls by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Saudi, Turkish and Qatari counterparts, and to Pakistan’s army chief. Iran urged Washington’s Gulf allies to press President Donald Trump to return to negotiations. The warning followed Trump’s July 28 threat to target Iran’s energy infrastructure. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman have backed renewed talks, while Riyadh also said it would defend itself if attacked. Iran cited the 2019 Abqaiq-Khurais strikes as a reminder of Gulf energy facilities’ vulnerability. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: energy, Gulf security, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United States Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-warns-gulf-energy-sites-could-face-retaliation-after-us-strike/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
