Iran has threatened to hit energy sites in the Middle East if the US or Israel attack its power plants. The threat was made by Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who warned that critical infrastructure and energy facilities in the region could be irreversibly destroyed. The US had warned that it would attack Iran's power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours. Iran maintains that the strait is already open, except to the US and its allies.
