Iran's military has threatened to strike US energy infrastructure in the Middle East if Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked, Reuters reported citing the Iranian military command.

The Joint Command of the Iranian Armed Forces stated that in the event of attacks on Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure, all US-owned energy infrastructure in the region will be targeted, the agency said.

US President Donald Trump earlier said that if Iran didn't open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the United States would destroy the Islamic Republic's power plants, starting with the largest.
On February 28, the US and Israel began striking targets in Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran is carrying out retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on US military facilities in the Middle East. The escalation around Iran has led to the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for deliveries of oil and liquefied natural gas from the Persian Gulf countries to the global market, and has also affected the level of oil exports and production in the region.
