Iranian Parliament Speaker: We’ll destroy the energy and oil infrastructure in the region if our electrical
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated that any attack on Iran’s power grids would trigger a broader regional confrontation focused on energy assets.
In remarks published Sunday on X, Qalibaf warned that vital energy and oil infrastructure across the region would be considered legitimate targets and irreversibly destroyed.
According to the Iranian official, such a scenario would have lasting global consequences, particularly for energy markets.
He suggested that disruptions to oil production and transport routes could lead to prolonged price increases and instability in international supply chains.
The warning follows renewed threats from US President Donald Trump, who said Washington could launch strikes against Iranian power plants if Tehran failed to guarantee full access through the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
The narrow maritime passage handles a significant share of global oil shipments, making it a focal point in any regional crisis.
The current escalation comes amid ongoing hostilities that Iran describes as joint aggression by Israel and the United States since late February.
Iranian authorities said that hundreds of people have been killed and extensive infrastructure damage has occurred.
Among those reportedly killed was Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with several senior political, security and army officials.
