Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a new warning against any future military action targeting the country. The warning comes amid renewed tensions between Tehran and Washington over security and the Strait of Hormuz.
IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohbi said Iran could target a wide range of strategic systems. He reportedly identified energy infrastructure, power plants, and American and non-American systems as potential targets.
Mohbi also referred to major energy transmission networks and internet-connected infrastructure worldwide. His remarks therefore expanded the potential scope of any Iranian response beyond conventional military installations.
According to the statement, Iran could consider hundreds of thousands of miles of energy infrastructure vulnerable. Thousands of power plants could also face risks if another conflict develops between the two sides.
The comments came as tensions continued around the Strait of Hormuz. The strategic waterway remains important to global energy markets because major oil shipments pass through the region.
The IRGC spokesman’s warning also highlighted Tehran’s broader deterrence strategy. Iranian officials frequently emphasize their ability to respond against targets beyond their immediate territory.
At the same time, the comments followed remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump concerning Iran. Trump said he did not trust Tehran and accused Iranian officials of providing misleading information.
Trump also said that the United States controlled the Strait of Hormuz. That statement adds another layer of tension because Tehran considers the waterway strategically important to its national security.
The article states that no U.S. naval vessels remain inside the Persian Gulf. However, American military forces maintain broader capabilities across the region.
The exchange of warnings could therefore increase uncertainty for energy companies and international shipping operators. Any military escalation near Hormuz could affect shipping costs, insurance rates, and global energy markets.
Threats against power and internet infrastructure could also raise concerns about wider economic disruption. Such infrastructure supports industrial activity, communications, transportation, and essential public services.
For now, neither side has announced a new military operation following the latest statements. Nevertheless, the increasingly direct rhetoric indicates that tensions remain high.
Future developments will likely depend on diplomatic contacts and military movements around the Gulf. Any renewed confrontation could quickly affect regional security and international energy markets.
