Iran threatens 'irreversible' damage to energy infrastructure if Iranian plants attacked

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has threatened retaliatory strikes for US attacks on Iranian power plants which he said will cause "irreversible" damage to regional energy infrastructure.
“Critical infrastructure and energy and oil infrastructure throughout the region will be considered legitimate targets and irreversibly destroyed, and oil prices will rise for a long time,” Ghalibaf said on X.
US President Donald Trump had threatened on Saturday to "obliterate" Iran's energy plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours. Iran said in response that retaliatory strikes will target all US "energy, information technology and desalination infrastructure".
