Iranian journalist Ali Golhaki, who is close to the regime, said Saturday evening that Iran plans to strike vital infrastructure in the region and in Israel to the full extent of its capability if its own energy infrastructure is extensively damaged in a US-Israeli attack, according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). The threat echoes similar warnings from Iranian officials in recent days.
Iranian journalist Ali Golhaki, described as close to the regime, stated Saturday evening that Tehran has a plan to strike vital infrastructure across the region and in Israel if its own energy infrastructure is extensively damaged in a US-Israeli attack. The statement was reported by Amit Segal (N12).
Golhaki's warning is the latest in a series of threats from Iranian officials and regime-affiliated figures throughout Saturday. At 01:44 Jerusalem, the desk reported an initial threat from Iranian sources against Israeli energy infrastructure. By 04:31 Jerusalem, a senior Iranian defense ministry official confirmed a comprehensive response plan targeting Israeli and US infrastructure, as The Zioneer reported. Later Saturday evening, a senior IRGC official warned Gulf residents to evacuate and threatened infrastructure in Arab states.
The threats come amid reports that the Trump administration and Israel are in advanced stages of planning strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure, as The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday. The Zioneer has also documented that Iran's missile stockpile has been degraded to approximately 22% of its original capacity due to ongoing strikes.
The threat remains at the rhetorical level; no operational details or timelines were provided by Golhaki.
