If Iran is attacked again, it will raise uranium enrichment purity to 90%, reaching weapons-grade levels, Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran, said.

He said this would be one of the potential responses to moves made by the US, stressing that the parliament will review such actions based on the circumstances of external aggression.

Spurred by the news, oil prices drifted higher. Brent oil futures for July delivery soared 2.13% to USD106.42 per barrel, while New York oil futures for June delivery added 2.52% to USD100.54 per barrel.
