Iran has warned that any new US attacks on its assets could draw retaliation against American oil and gas interests and energy infrastructure across the Gulf. The warning came from Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who said, "Strike our assets and you get struck," according to Reuters.

The statement followed weekend clashes in which US and Iranian forces traded strikes on shipping, raising concerns about the conflict spreading in the region. Oil prices climbed to near six-week highs on Monday.

Tensions have centered on the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and gas supplies. Iran has tightened restrictions on shipping through the strait, while diplomatic efforts have shown little progress toward restoring normal energy flows through the Gulf.
