"Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that vital infrastructure across the region would become legitimate targets if Iran's own infrastructure was attacked, indicating a significant escalation in hostilities."
"A military spokesperson warned that any strike on Iran's energy facilities would prompt attacks on US and Israeli energy and assets, specifically targeting information technology and desalination facilities."
"The US president issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to open the strait of Hormuz, threatening to obliterate Iranian power plants if compliance was not met."
"Iranian attacks have effectively closed the strait of Hormuz, which carries about a fifth of global oil supplies, leading to the worst oil crisis since the 1970s."
Iran has vowed to irreversibly destroy essential infrastructure across the Middle East if the US attacks its energy sites. This statement follows a threat from Donald Trump to obliterate Iranian power plants if the strait of Hormuz is not opened. Iranian missile strikes on Israeli cities have already caused injuries and damage. Iranian officials declared that any attack on their energy facilities would lead to retaliatory strikes on US and Israeli assets in the region, exacerbating the ongoing conflict and oil crisis.
