Iran’s top military leadership has threatened to engage in a tit-for-tat if the US targets the Islamic Republic’s vital assets, as President Donald Trump has threatened.
Recall that the US President issued a deadline on Saturday via Truth Social, warning Iran to—without threat—fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face destruction.
Trump stated that if the request is not heeded, the U.S. “will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first.”
Responding, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari said if Iran is attacked, “all energy infrastructure, IT systems, and desalination facilities belonging to the U.S. and the regime in the region will be targeted.”
Meanwhile, Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli defences and hit the southern cities of Dimona and Arad on Saturday, leaving dozens of civilians injured, some of them critically.
The attack, which caused massive destruction, targeted two locations just a few kilometers away from Israel’s nuclear installation located in the Negev desert.
It happened just hours after Tehran claimed that Israel and the United States had bombed a uranium enrichment plant in Natanz that was crucial to Iran’s nuclear program.
According to top lawmaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Israel’s inability to stop the missiles in the well guarded Dimona location will operationally mark the start of a new stage of the conflict.
“Israel’s skies are defenseless,” the Parliament Speaker wrote on X. “It seems the time has come to implement the next pre-planned plans.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacting, described the attack on Saturday as and “a very difficult evening in the campaign for our future,” however, he vowed to continue striking Iran.
