Following a threat from U.S. President Donald Trump to disrupt Iranian power supplies if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, Iran has vowed retaliation, threatening strikes against energy infrastructure belonging to both the United States and Israel. The escalating rhetoric raises concerns about a potential broadening of conflict in the region.
According to reports from Al Jazeera, Iranian military officials warned they would target energy facilities linked to the U.S. And Israel in the Middle East should Iran’s power plants become a target.
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command, stated that Iran would as well target desalination plants and information technology infrastructure associated with the U.S. And Israel.

This warning followed Trump’s threat to attack Iranian power plants if Tehran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
Fars news agency reported that the late Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, had cautioned that “the entire region will experience a power outage within half an hour” if Iran’s electricity grid were to be targeted.
According to Al Jazeera, Donald Trump had previously given Iran a 48-hour deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic or face the destruction of its energy infrastructure.
“If Iran does NOT FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREATS, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from now, the United States will attack and destroy various Iranian electric power facilities, STARTING WITH THE LARGEST!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Since the U.S. And Israel launched military action against Iran on February 28, Iran has effectively closed the strait in response. Approximately one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes through the strait, and its closure has prompted countries reliant on the shipping lane to seek alternative routes and tap reserves.
Disruptions to supplies from the Gulf have caused fuel prices to surge worldwide, threatening governments with escalating inflation the longer the conflict continues. The development underscores growing regional tensions and the potential for wider economic repercussions.
The U.S. Military stated on Saturday, March 21, that it had damaged Iranian bunkers storing weapons that threatened oil and gas shipments in the Strait of Hormuz.
