      Iranian leadership announced its readiness to launch retaliatory strikes against American energy facilities in the event of a U.S. attack on Iranian power plants. This was reported by Interfax, citing the Fars agency, which is linked to the IRGC. Iranian military officials stressed that the retaliatory strike will be aimed at the energy infrastructure of the United States in the Persian Gulf region. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened that American forces would strike Iranian power plants if Tehran did not restore the free movement of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
