Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, April 7 - The Iranian Tasnim News Agency reported on the 7th, citing a military source, that the Iranian military has prepared some surprises for U.S. President Trump’s “possible reckless actions.”

Regarding how Iran would respond if Trump were to order airstrikes on important civilian infrastructure such as Iranian power plants, the military source, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that one of the “surprises” prepared by Iran is to include the oil facilities of Saudi Aramco, Yanbu, and the Fujairah oil pipeline in the list of targets. “If Trump really commits such a crime, Iran will not hesitate to make the U.S. and its allies pay a heavy price.”

The source emphasized: “Trump thinks these threats can open the Strait of Hormuz and lower oil prices. What he doesn’t know is that if he really goes through with it, oil prices will rise to $200 per barrel in the coming days.”
