IRAN’S paramilitary Revolutionary Guard threatened today to halt all energy exports from the Middle East after the United States reimposed a naval blockade on the country and intensified its campaign of air strikes.

“The export of oil and gas from the region will be either for everyone or for no-one,” it said.

Following Iranian attacks on ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the United States carried out a wave of strikes, hitting dozens of targets overnight, the military’s Central Command said today, before resuming action against Iran during daylight.
