Iran Warns Of Wider Retaliation The reported designation follows warnings from Iranian officials that any US strikes on Iran’s civilian infrastructure could trigger retaliation across the region. On Thursday, Iranian military spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari said Tehran would respond with a “more severe, wider and more destructive" action if President Donald Trump followed through on threats to target Iranian power plants and bridges. Zolfaghari also warned that any US attempt to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz would cross a “red line" for Iran. The strategic waterway is a key route for global oil shipments.
Trump had earlier warned that the US could expand its military action against Iran by targeting infrastructure if Tehran did not return to negotiations. The US has carried out multiple rounds of strikes against Iranian targets, saying the operations were aimed at reducing Tehran’s military capabilities. Iran has said any attack on its infrastructure would lead to a wider response. The country’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters also warned that US strikes on Iranian facilities would trigger action against infrastructure across the wider West Asian region.
