Iran military says 'not a single litre' of oil will be allowed

An Iranian military official on Tuesday said Tehran would block oil exports in the region to countries it considers enemies or their allies, Fars News Agency reported.

The official said Iran would not allow the export of “a single litre of oil” to those states until further notice.

The statement comes as tensions escalate across the Gulf amid the widening conflict. Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, which has affected the global economy as oil prices have skyrocketed.
