Tehran, March 22 (Xinhua) — Power plants in countries hosting US bases will become legitimate targets for the Iranian military in the event of US attacks on Iranian energy facilities, according to a statement issued by the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces on Sunday.
According to the state-run broadcaster Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the statement was made in response to US President Donald Trump's threats to strike Iran's energy infrastructure.
The statement noted that the Strait of Hormuz has not been completely closed and remains under Iran's "smart management," with non-threatening transit continuing under special rules that ensure national security and national interests.
If the US threats are carried out, Iran will immediately take a series of punitive measures, including completely closing the Strait of Hormuz until the damaged Iranian facilities are restored, the statement said.
