Iran’s military says Hormuz will be “completely closed” if US bombs power plants.
Iran’s armed forces headquarters has declared it is ready to close the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely if US President Donald Trump carries out a threat to bomb Iran’s power plants.

Its statement Sunday is the latest warning from Tehran of retribution for any attacks on the country’s power industry.

Trump said Saturday he would order the bombardment of such infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz was not fully open to shipping within 48 hours.

Iran’s military responded Sunday that if the US threats regarding Iran’s power plants are carried out, the Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed and will not be reopened until destroyed power plants are rebuilt.

It also said that all Israeli energy and communications infrastructure will be targeted, as well as “similar companies in the region with U.S. shareholders.”

The “power plants of regional countries hosting US bases will be legitimate targets for us,” the military headquarters added.

Earlier, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad ⁠Baqer Qalibaf said in a post on X that critical ⁠infrastructure ⁠and energy facilities in the ⁠Middle ​East could ⁠be “irreversibly destroyed” should Iranian ​power plants be targeted.
