Tehran has issued a strong warning in response to US President Donald Trump's Hormuz threat, saying that it would go beyond military targets if its energy infrastructure comes under attack. The message was conveyed by Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, and carried by state broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). He said any strike on Iran’s fuel and energy sector would trigger retaliation against a wider set of targets linked to the United States and its regional allies.
“If Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, all energy infrastructure, information technology systems, and desalination facilities belonging to the United States and the regime in the region will be targeted,” Zolfaghari said.
