Iran-USA Conflict: The conflict in the Middle East has now become more dangerous. Iran has said that if US President Donald Trump attacks its energy centers, it will completely close the Strait of Hormuz. After this threat, tension has increased in the entire area.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that the energy centers in the countries where America has military bases will now become targets for attack.
Trump had warned
President Trump had warned, “If Iran does not fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours without any threat, the United States will attack their various power plants, starting with the largest power plant.” In response to Trump’s warning, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Baqir Kalibaf said that if Tehran’s infrastructure was attacked, the entire region could target their investment projects. Iranian military officials also said they could target US-linked energy, technology and water facilities in the Gulf.
Iranian stance on the Strait of Hormuz
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that the Strait of Hormuz will remain completely closed until their destroyed power plants are rebuilt. This strait is one of the most important shipping routes in the world and a large part of the global oil and gas passes through it. Iran closed it down on 28 February. The blockage in the Strait of Hormuz has already slowed tanker movements, raised fuel prices and roiled global markets.
increasing sequence of air strikes
The ground situation is still unstable. Air raid sirens sounded in many parts of Israel after the new missile was fired. The attacks intensified on March 21, with US-Israeli attacks focused on Tehran and around central and southern Iran, including areas near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with attacks on Israel and parts of the Gulf.
According to the IDF, Iran has fired more than 400 ballistic missiles at the country since the war began, but most of the missiles were intercepted by its defense system. According to officials, about 92 percent of the missiles were destroyed before reaching their targets.
