U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on social media Saturday that the United States would target Iranian power plants if the country fails to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
The target will start with the biggest one first, Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social. The Bushehr nuclear power plant, situated on Iran's southern coast along the Persian Gulf, is widely considered the largest power plant in the country.
Iran swiftly responded to the threat. According to Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency, the country's primary military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned on Sunday that it would strike "all energy, information technology and desalination infrastructure belonging to the U.S. and the regime in the region" if its energy infrastructure was attacked.
