Iran Threatens Regional Infrastructure Amid Intensifying US Airstrikes
Iran's joint military command has threatened to destroy all infrastructure in the region if the United States carries out President Trump's warnings to target Iranian power plants and bridges. Col Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran's Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, emphasized that interference by the US in the Strait of Hormuz is an "invincible red line." The escalation follows intensified US airstrikes on Iranian military sites and increased regional tensions involving missile and drone attacks by Iran on US allies.
