Critical infrastructure ​and energy facilities ‌in the Middle ​East could ⁠be “irreversibly destroyed” should Iranian power plants be ‌targeted, Iran’s Parliament Speaker ‌Mohammad Baqer ‌Qalibaf ⁠said in ⁠comments posted on X on Sunday.

His comments ​come after ‌U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Iranian power ‌plants would be ​targeted if the Strait ⁠of Hormuz is not “fully open” within ‌48 hours.

Qalibaf said regional infrastructure would become “legitimate targets” should Iran’s ‌facilities be hit, ​and that its retaliation would increase ⁠the price of ⁠oil for a while. (
