Iran Warns of Retaliation Against Energy Sites if Trump Hits Strait Infrastructure
Iran's foreign minister said Tehran will retaliate against regional infrastructure, including energy facilities, if President Trump follows through on threats to destroy bridges or power plants in response to attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has warned it will retaliate against regional infrastructure—including energy facilities—if US President Donald Trump carries out his threat to destroy a bridge or power plant for each attack on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The warning was delivered by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who stated there is no prospect of progress unless Washington respects Iran's national interests.
Trump responded by saying Iran is "not ready yet" for a deal. The exchange marks an escalation in rhetoric between the two countries, with the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments—at the center of tensions.
