According to a report by Russia's TASS news agency on Thursday, March 12, the official stated that even the smallest attack on Iran's energy infrastructure and ports would provoke a "crushing and devastating" response.

This statement comes amid rising regional tensions and growing concerns over potential strikes on Iranian energy facilities.
