Iran pledged on Wednesday to target vital energy facilities in the region, in retaliation for any potential U.S. airstrikes on Iranian power stations. A military source confirmed that any strike against a bridge or an electricity generation plant would be met with a severe response involving the bombing of similar energy installations across the region. This warning follows earlier threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who had indicated that Washington would destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant each time Tehran targets a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
