Iran Warns of Retaliation Against Regional Infrastructure if U.S. Attacks

Iran has issued a stern warning that it will retaliate against regional infrastructure, particularly energy facilities connected to U.S. interests, should the United States target Iranian bridges or power plants. This declaration comes as a direct response to recent threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump.

targeting infrastructure and bridges in the region, including energy facilities where Washington holds interests.

According to Iran's Tasnim news agency, citing military sources, Tehran will respond by "targeting infrastructure and bridges in the region, including energy facilities" where Washington holds interests. The sources also affirmed Iran's "iron will" to enforce its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that safe passage for ships would only be possible in coordination with Tehran. The warning implies that any aggressive action by Trump would result in his "shame."

President Trump had earlier threatened that U.S. forces would strike "a bridge or power plant" in Iran each time Tehran opened fire on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. This warning followed a series of U.S. actions against Iran, including air defense responses over the capital, Tehran. Reports also indicated that Iran had launched a missile attack on Jordan, with warnings issued in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

The escalating tensions highlight the precarious situation in the region, with both nations engaging in a war of words and veiled threats of military action. Iran's assertion of control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport, adds another layer of complexity to the standoff.

any such gamble by Donald Trump would 'once again result in his shame.'
