Iran names regional energy sites as targets if war resumes
Iran has signalled that it is preparing for another round of war with the US, and the targets it now names include the region's oil and gas facilities. CNN says Revolutionary Guard commanders have made that case for a month, and on Monday an IRGC adviser said missiles were ready for energy infrastructure across the region if Iran is attacked.
That threat depends on the US resuming hostilities, but prices were already firming. Summer 2027 power and gas closed Friday up 1.5% and 1.72%, and on Monday morning power was up another 1.5% and day-ahead gas another 1.4%.
