Iran issued a warning to the USA to prepare for darkness.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (68/100).

The claim that Iran issued a warning to the USA to prepare for darkness is supported by multiple sources. These sources indicate that Iran's warning was related to potential oil supply disruptions and economic hardships, suggesting a metaphorical 'darkness' rather than a literal one. The Express and Middle East Eye both report on Iran's Vice President warning the US about potential oil shortages and economic challenges. There is no evidence of a literal threat to cause darkness, such as power outages. The claim is therefore mostly true in the context of economic warnings, but not in a literal sense.
