Iran Warns of Retaliation Against Middle East Energy Facilities
2026-03-22 18:55

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that if the United States attacks Iran's power plants and other infrastructure within 48 hours, as demanded by former U.S. President Donald Trump, Iran will consider all energy and oil facilities in the Middle East as legitimate targets. This could lead to irreversible destruction and a long-term increase in oil prices. Trump had previously threatened on social media to destroy various Iranian power plants if Iran did not open the Strait of Hormuz.
