The spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, has urged Islamic countries to promptly warn the United States and Israel against further inhumane actions, including attacks on fuel and energy infrastructure, warning that failure to do so could trigger similar responses in the region.

Speaking on Sunday, Zolfaghari said that the US and Israel have caused widespread civilian casualties since the start of their aggression against Iran, including the deaths of innocent children, women, and men. He said their recent attacks have gone beyond targeting civilians, extending to fuel, energy, and public service facilities.

The general added that, despite possessing full intelligence, offensive capabilities, and knowledge of regional fuel and energy infrastructure, Iran’s Armed Forces have so far refrained from retaliating.

He concluded by calling on Islamic governments to act swiftly to prevent further “cowardly and inhumane” actions by the US and Israel, cautioning that otherwise similar operations could occur in the region.

Zolfaghari also made a pointed reference to global oil prices, suggesting that continued provocations could have economic repercussions.

The United States and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and top military commanders, despite indirect nuclear negotiations taking place between Tehran and Washington.

The two regimes have also killed more than 1,300 civilians, including children, and attacked non-military sites, among them schools and hospitals. On Saturday night, the US and Israel struck several fuel storage facilities in Tehran, causing massive fires.

Within the framework of its legitimate response, the Iranian Armed Forces immediately initiated decisive missile and drone strikes against US bases in the region and targets in Israel.
