Iran has reportedly warned that it will strike energy facilities in Israel and the United States if its own sites are attacked, according to a report. The threat echoes previous ultimatums from Tehran.
Iran has issued a renewed threat to target Israeli and American energy infrastructure in the event of an attack on Iranian sites, according to a report published Saturday morning. The warning is the latest in a series of escalating statements from Tehran amid heightened regional tensions.
In recent weeks, Iran has warned that it would strike US military bases in the region and threatened to 'plunge the entire region into darkness' if its energy facilities are targeted, as The Zioneer has reported. The Islamic Republic has also explicitly threatened to attack Tel Aviv if its power plants or capital are struck.
The latest threat comes as Israel has signaled readiness for offensive operations. Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on July 28 that the IDF is prepared for 'Operation White-Blue' — a named contingency plan for strikes inside Iran — though he noted that such action awaits American approval. The United States and Israel have been reported to be coordinating on potential joint strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure.
