The Iranian military has officially declared its intent to shut down the Strait of Hormuz for an indefinite period if the United States follows through on threats to target domestic power plants.
This high-stakes announcement from Tehran's armed forces serves as a direct rebuttal to the 48-hour ultimatum issued by President Donald Trump.
Iranian officials have clarified that if American air strikes damage their electrical infrastructure, the vital waterway—which facilitates the transit of 20% of the world’s oil supply—will remain impassable until every facility is fully reconstructed.
Beyond the maritime blockade, the Middle East conflict has taken a sharper turn as Iran expands its list of potential military targets.
The Islamic Republic has warned that it will retaliate against Israeli energy networks and any regional companies with U.S. shareholders.
Furthermore, any nations hosting American military bases have been told their infrastructure is now a "legitimate target."
This geopolitical escalation suggests that a localized strike could quickly transform into a massive regional war affecting global resource security.
