Iran has warned that it will destroy all energy and water-purification infrastructure across the region unless the United States ceases its 'aggression,' according to a report. The threat follows a similar warning earlier today from an Iranian military source targeting Kuwaiti energy sites as a first stage.
Iran has issued a new threat to destroy all regional energy and water-purification infrastructure if the United States does not halt what it calls 'aggression.' The statement, reported Saturday afternoon, broadens earlier warnings that focused on specific targets. The source is not attributed to a specific Iranian official but is presented as an official threat.
The threat follows a similar warning earlier today from an Iranian military source, who said that Kuwait's power plants and water desalination facilities would be struck as the first stage of a regional plan, as The Zioneer reported at 14:27 Jerusalem. That earlier threat was part of a phased approach.
Over the past weeks, The Zioneer has reported on a series of escalating threats from Iranian officials and military commands. The IRGC has warned of a 'devastating attack' on Israel if Iran's energy sites are hit, and the Iranian army spokesman has stated that all regional infrastructure would become legitimate targets if the US strikes Iranian infrastructure. The US has conducted airstrikes on Iranian military targets in recent days, and President Trump has threatened to wipe out Iran's power plants while preferring a deal.
