Iran has threatened to attack electrical plants in the Middle East that supply power to US military bases, as tensions escalate over the Strait of Hormuz.
The warning came Monday in a statement by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which was broadcast on state television.
The statement said Iran would retaliate if its own power infrastructure comes under attack, vowing to target “power plants of the occupying regime” — referring to Israel — as well as facilities in regional countries that provide electricity to US bases.
It also warned of potential strikes on economic, industrial and energy infrastructure linked to American interests.
“Do not doubt that we will do this,” the statement added.
The threat comes as US President Donald Trump has set a deadline over the Strait of Hormuz, warning that Washington would strike Iranian power plants within 48 hours if the vital waterway remains effectively closed due to Iranian attacks on shipping.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key global oil transit route, and any disruption there could have major implications for international energy markets and regional security.
