Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has issued a stark warning that nations hosting US military installations could face retaliatory strikes on their power infrastructure if the United States follows through with threats to target Iranian energy facilities. The statement, delivered through state-controlled Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, represents a significant escalation in regional tensions.
The military command emphasized that the strategic Strait of Hormuz remains under Iranian “smart control” with regulated maritime transit continuing under specific security protocols. However, officials warned that any American aggression would trigger immediate countermeasures including complete closure of the vital waterway until damaged Iranian facilities are fully restored.
Beyond maritime implications, Tehran’s retaliation blueprint includes comprehensive strikes against Israeli power, energy and communications networks, targeted operations against regional companies with US capital investments, and direct attacks on energy infrastructure in countries permitting US military presence. The statement underscored Iran’s commitment to take “all necessary measures” to protect national interests while continuing operations against US and allied economic assets throughout the region.
This development follows recent provocative statements by US President Donald Trump regarding potential strikes against Iranian infrastructure, creating a dangerous escalation cycle that threatens regional stability and global energy security.
