A spokesman for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned that Iranian armed forces will target economic, fuel, energy and power assets of the United States, Israel and their allies if Iranian infrastructure comes under attack.
The statement was issued in response to threats by U.S. President Donald Trump, who posted on social media that the United States has not used its full military power against Iran and that more serious operations may lie ahead. Trump specifically mentioned potential strikes on Iranian bridges and power plants.
The Iranian spokesman also cautioned countries in the region hosting U.S. military bases about the potential consequences of such presence. He urged these nations to pressure the United States to withdraw its forces amid escalating tensions that risk broader regional conflict.
