Économie · Iran VP warns USL'Iran dit aux Américains de stocker de l'essence tandis que les missiles volentRédigé 6 septembre 2026 à 16:50 UTCRegarderTranscription0:00Iran's vice president just told Americans to stockpile gasoline.0:04Gas is already $4.2014 a gallon, diesel is at a record, and brent crude is near0:08$100.0:09The question, will Tehran actually carry out that asymmetrical campaign or is this0:13pressure aimed at pulling the U.S.0:14back from the Strait of Hormuz?0:16The latest round began with a US strike on Larak Island on August 30th.0:20A day later, Iran began firing on American-linked sites across five countries.0:25On September 1st, a larger US wave hit Revolutionary Guard targets around the Strait0:29of Hormuz, and that night, Iran says, a wedding was struck too.0:33By September 3rd, Iran's vice president had posted his threat, and the White House0:38had given two very different descriptions of what is happening.0:41In the same news cycle, the president called it a war.0:44The vice president said no active shooting is happening.0:46Vance described six weeks of major combat and claimed earlier operations destroyed0:51Iran's nuclear and military production capacity, but he set no end date, linking any0:55talks to Iran halting attacks on commercial ships.0:58That is the exact post from Iran's first vice president, Mohamed Reza Aref.1:02He framed the U.S.1:03bombing as a shift in Iran's doctrine, from deterrence to a response designed to1:07deny the United States security and return.1:10The wedding strike is the gravest claim.1:12Iran alleges a U.S.1:13strike on a wedding in Kuhistak on the Hormuz coast, killed at least four people,1:17later five, after a young woman died in hospital, two of them children, and wounded1:21roughly 65.1:22The U.S.1:23denies targeting civilians, CENTCOM is investigating, and the vice president is1:27extremely skeptical with no determination yet.1:29Iran has called it a war crime, held funerals, and the Revolutionary Guard has vowed1:34revenge.1:34Separately, how much oil is actually moving through Hormuz is fiercely contested.1:38The Energy Department says 17 million barrels in one day.1:41The White House says 15 million, but independent tanker trackers put the real figure1:45at 5 to 6 million a day.1:47Iran itself has exported no oil for seven weeks, against 1.7 million barrels a day1:52before the war.1:53That threat lands on American wallets already squeezed.1:56The national average for regular gasoline is $4.14 a gallon.2:00Diesel is at a record above 580.2:03Brent crude has traded above $97 a barrel, with global prices just under $100, and2:08mortgage rates are near 7%.2:10Over roughly 72 hours, Iran claimed strikes on U.S.-linked sites in five countries:2:15Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE, Bahrain, and Iraq.2:18Most incoming fire was intercepted, with limited American casualties.2:21Jordan alone brought down at least 18 ballistic missiles.2:24An Iranian drone hit a residential compound in Kuwait, starting a fire that was2:28extinguished.2:28No injuries, material damage only.2:31Gulf states condemn the attacks.2:32On the American side, the posture is expanding, not shrinking.2:36About 50,000 troops remain in the region.2:39With two carrier strike groups, including the USS Abraham Lincoln, there is no peace2:43deal in sight.2:44Iranian state-backed hackers have probed U.S.2:47water and energy systems unsuccessfully.2:49And the vice president says the top U.S.2:51priority is no longer Iran's nuclear program, but bringing gasoline prices down.2:56So will Tehran actually carry out a full asymmetrical campaign against energy and3:00shipping?3:01Or is the warning pressure aimed at pulling the U.S.3:03back from the Hormuz campaign?3:04Iran's vice president has stated intent, but the U.S.3:07is already contradicting itself on whether this is a war, how long it has lasted,3:11how much oil is getting through, and whether it killed civilians at a wedding.3:14What is certain?3:15Gas is above $4, diesel is at a record.3:19And Iran says it is coming for the American economy.3:22No end date has been set for the $3 gas the White House once forecast for Labor Day.Lire l’articleChronologie de l’histoireHeyDexLe format court ↗
