Cutting off oil revenue. Has to happen.

Yes, Iran has a documented history of targeting foreign infrastructure, often via direct strikes, proxies, or cyber means.
Examples:
- 2019: Drone/missile attack on Saudi Abqaiq-Khurais oil facilities (disrupted 5.7M barrels/day; attributed to Iran by US, Saudi, UK/France/Germany, UN experts; Iran/Houthis denied).
- 2012: Shamoon cyber wiper attack on Saudi Aramco (wiped 30k computers, halted operations).
- 2018-2022: Cyber intrusions on Israeli water systems.
- 2026 conflict: Missile/drone strikes on oil refineries, ports, airports, and tankers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE.
Iran typically frames these as retaliation or proxy actions; attributions disputed in some cases.
