JAKARTA - Iran will take retaliatory measures if the country's energy facilities are attacked, said Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Command Spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari, Sunday, amid threats from US President Donald Trump.
Earlier on the same day, Trump stated that if Iran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the US would destroy Iran's power plants, starting with the largest.
"If Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by enemies, all energy infrastructure, as well as information technology and water desalination facilities owned by the US and the regime in the region will be targeted according to previous warnings," Zolfaghari said, as quoted by Antara from the Fars news agency.
On February 28, the US and Israel began launching attacks on a number of targets in Iran, including in Tehran, which caused damage and civilian casualties.
Iran then carried out retaliatory attacks against Israeli territory as well as US military targets in the Middle East as a form of self-defense.
The US and Israel initially stated that the "preventive" attack was necessary to face the perceived threat from Iran's nuclear program, but later the US-Israel confirmed that they wanted to witness a change of power in Iran.
