BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 23. Iran has announced
that it may strike Israel’s energy facilities in retaliation for
attacks on its power industry, stated the Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps (IRGC), Trend reports.
IRGC noted that it would target Israeli power plants as well as
energy infrastructure supplying electricity to U.S. military bases
in regional countries.
“U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that the IRGC intends
to attack desalination facilities to create difficulties for
populations in regional countries. We are determined to respond to
any threat at a proportional level. If you strike electricity, we
will strike electricity,” the statement said.
On Saturday, Trump issued a stark warning that if Tehran fails
to completely reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic
within a specified timeframe, Iran's power plants may be designated
as potential targets.
