Iran has reacted to US President Donald Trump’s threat to open Hormuz within 48 hours. Iran has issued a stern warning to America, saying that if its energy plants are targeted, the strategically important Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed. Along with this, there has also been a threat to attack the energy infrastructure of Israel and Gulf countries.
According to Iran’s state media Press TV, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesman Ibrahim Zulfaghari said that at present the Strait of Hormuz is limited to enemies, but if the US follows through on its threat, it will be completely closed. He said that this strait is currently under the control of Iran and safe movement continues under special rules.

Zulfaghari made clear that if Iran was harmed, Hormuz would not be opened until the damaged power plants were rebuilt. He also said that all of Israel’s energy and information technology infrastructure would be comprehensively targeted.
Apart from this, Iran also described the energy plants of those Gulf countries where US military bases are present as legitimate targets. Zulfaghari warned that regional companies in which Americans have stakes could also be completely destroyed.
