The U.S. government has rejected recent assertions by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps regarding oil production disruptions, calling them a calculated effort to manipulate global energy markets. Officials argue the claims are politically motivated, aimed at influencing oil prices in the lead-up to the U.S. presidential election. The move underscores growing tensions between Washington and Tehran over energy security and economic strategy. Analysts suggest the dispute could further destabilize already volatile crude markets.
The US has pushed back on the IRGC's claims, dismissing them as an attempt to increase oil prices ahead of US elections.
