Khaberni - In response to the American president's threat to bomb power plants, Tehran threatened a full-scale war on infrastructure. A spokesman for the Central Command in Iran stated, "If there is any disruption in our power network, the entire region will lose electricity."
The spokesman for "Khatam al-Anbiya" (Iranian Central Operations Command), Ibrahim Dhul-Fiqar, issued a stern warning today (Sunday) to the United States and Israel about the devastating consequences of any military attack on the fuel and energy infrastructure in the Islamic Republic.
According to a report by the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, Dhul-Fiqar explained that "following previous warnings, if the enemy attacks the fuel and energy infrastructure in Iran, all power and information technology infrastructure and desalination plants of the United States and the Zionist regime in the region will become legitimate targets and will be destroyed."
The strong Iranian threat comes as a direct response to the unprecedented warning issued by American President Donald Trump yesterday. According to Tasnim News Agency, Trump is making these threats in an attempt to break out of the strategic impasse he finds himself in. In a post on the social network "Truth Social," the American president demanded the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital commercial artery closed by Tehran.
Trump wrote: "If Iran does not fully and without threats open the Strait of Hormuz within exactly 48 hours from now, the United States will strike and destroy its power stations, starting with the biggest ones!"
In an attempt to underscore the gravity of the situation, Iran cited the words of the former top national security minister, Ali Larijani, who warned before his assassination, "If anything happens to the electricity in Iran, the entire region will experience total darkness within half an hour."
