Iran Warns United States Against Energy Infrastructure Attacks

Iran warned the United States against targeting its energy infrastructure, threatening to retaliate against Gulf state energy resources if attacked.

A senior Iranian military commander recently issued a stern warning to the United States. Iran stated that if the US targets its energy infrastructure, Iran will retaliate against Persian Gulf nations energy resources. Iran says the United States is accelerating its pace to provoke a full-scale conflict in the Middle East region. American media recently reported that the US plans to conduct large-scale strikes against Iranian power facilities. These strikes could cause blackouts in major cities like Tehran for two to four weeks. Iran called on Middle Eastern nations to reconsider their cooperation with the United States. Iran had previously warned the US and Israel against attacks on its energy infrastructure.
