"Immediately after power plants and infrastructure in our country are targeted, vital infrastructure as well as energy and oil infrastructure across the entire region will be considered legitimate targets and will be irreversibly destroyed."
"Ghalibaf's comments came after Trump on Saturday said the US will obliterate Iran's power plants if it doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours."
"Iran, which has effectively blockaded the Strait of Hormuz since the US and Israel attacked the country on February 28, says the key waterway is already open except to the US and its allies."
"The closure of the strait, a narrow choke point that carries around a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies, has caused the worst oil crisis since the 1970s."
Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that if the US attacks Iranian power plants, vital infrastructure across the Middle East will be targeted. Ghalibaf stated that such actions would lead to irreversible destruction of energy and oil facilities in the region. He emphasized that retaliation would significantly raise oil prices. The comments followed President Trump's threat to obliterate Iran's power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz is opened. Iran claims the strait is open to all shipping except vessels linked to its adversaries.
