Iran military warns US strikes on infrastructure would trigger attacks across region
An Iranian military spokesman warned on Thursday that if the United States carried out President Donald Trump’s threat to strike Iran’s infrastructure, Tehran would attack “all infrastructure” remaining across the region.
“If the recent threats by the empty-headed US president to target the infrastructure of the Islamic Republic of Iran are carried out, then everything that, out of Iran’s restraint, has so far remained intact – namely all infrastructure in the region – will be crushed under the powerful blows of Iran’s armed forces,” Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said in a statement.
Zolfaghari also said Iran would not allow the United States “under any circumstances” to intervene in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it “Iran’s invincible red line.”
Trump said this week the United States would strike Iran’s power plants and bridges unless Tehran returned to negotiations.
