Iran Threatens Retaliation for US Attacks on Power Plants
Iran warns it may target Gulf power plants and mine Persian Gulf waters if US attacks Iranian electricity infrastructure. Detailed analysis of rising Middle East tensions.
Iran has issued a stern warning that it could strike electricity plants across the Middle East and mine the Persian Gulf in retaliation for any U.S. attacks on its power infrastructure. The warning comes after President Trump threatened to bomb Iranian power stations if the country did not reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
The rising tensions in the region have sparked fears of a potential military confrontation between the U.S. and Iran, with both sides engaging in increasingly aggressive rhetoric and actions. Iran has accused the U.S. of waging economic warfare through crippling sanctions, while the U.S. has accused Iran of sponsoring terrorism and destabilizing the region.
