retaliation

Fiat, the biggest carmaker in Italy, reportedly threatened to make a scooter in retaliation.

Iran has for years threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of all traded oil passes, in retaliation for Western sanctions and other actions against it.

“I’ve been assaulted at gunpoint, and the police said we can’t do anything because they didn’t shoot me,” said one business owner, who declined to give their name due to fear of retaliation.

At the same time, an increasingly outspoken far-right contingent in the West Bank has criticized authorities when they take action against Israelis, at times warning of retaliation.

In retaliation, the FSB said Russian forces had hit a Ukrainian military intelligence centre and airfield in the Kyiv and Khmelnitsky regions.
