Nothing was said on when the action will be taken

IRGC did not say when or how these places could be attacked. However, this statement is being considered as part of the increasing tension between Iran and America.

Iran’s warning – if attacked, the response will be bigger

Iranian army spokesman Ibrahim Zolfaghari said that if America attacks Iran’s power plants, bridges or other vital structures, Iran will give a bigger and tougher response than before. He also said that if the US intervenes in Hormuz, Iran will consider it as crossing its “red line”.

America has also given a warning

Donald Trump has previously said that if Iran is not ready for talks, America can also attack its critical infrastructure. America says that its aim is to weaken Iran’s military strength.

Uneasiness may increase throughout West Asia

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has also said that if America attacks Iran’s bases or important structures, the response will not be limited to Iran only. American interests and important targets throughout West Asia can be targeted. Due to this, there is a possibility of further increase in tension in the area.

Tension between America and Iran has increased further. US President Donald Trump has said that the US Army has heavily bombed Iran’s Kharg Island. Iran has reacted strongly after America’s attack on military bases on Kharg Island. A spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters said that if Iran’s oil, economic or energy targets were attacked, Iran would respond immediately. The spokesperson said that in retaliation, such regional structures which are related to America will be targeted.

Threat to destroy structures linked to America
Iran’s military leadership has said that if the oil, economic or energy infrastructure inside its country is attacked, then those targets across the region which are related to American companies or which are working in collaboration with Washington will be targeted. A spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbia headquarters said that any attack on Iran’s oil, economic or energy infrastructure would be immediately followed by retaliatory attacks on similar infrastructure. This may also include the locations of companies in which the US has stakes or which are considered supporters of US regional operations.

Know why Kharg Island is important
The attack on Kharg Island has come at a time when the US Army has ordered to send 2500 soldiers and an amphibious assault ship to the Middle East. According to a recent report by JP Morgan, Kharg Island is very important for Iran’s economy. Experts say that if there is a direct attack here, a large part of Iran’s crude oil exports could stop immediately. In fact, about 90 percent of Iran’s oil is loaded in ships from this island and sent to other countries. In such a situation, if the energy bases of this island are targeted, then Iran’s huge income from oil can stop in one stroke.

Iran has already given warning
Experts say that if Iranian oil facilities on Kharg Island are targeted, it could have serious consequences. In response to this, major attacks may begin on energy related structures in the Strait of Hormuz or Gulf countries. Just a day earlier, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had threatened that if there was even the slightest attack on its energy infrastructure, it could set oil and gas structures in the entire region on fire.

Iran has issued a strict warning to America amid increasing American military activities in the Middle East. A senior Iranian official has said that if any kind of attack is made on Iran, whether it is limited or extensive, then Iran will see it as a total war and it will be responded to in a very harsh manner. This statement has come at a time when an American aircraft carrier strike group and other military resources are going to reach the Middle East in the coming days.

An Iranian official, on condition of anonymity, said that Iran is watching this military gathering seriously. According to him, Iran hopes that this preparation is not being done with the intention of any real conflict, but still the country’s army is on full alert for every possible situation.

According to Reuters report, the Iranian official said in clear words that this time any attack, whether limited, surgical or by any other name, Iran will consider it as a direct war against itself. He said that Iran will give the strictest response in such a situation, so that no one has the courage to attack Iran in the future.

Trump’s warning and Iran’s reaction

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that a US armada was headed towards Iran, although he also said he hoped not to use it. Trump had warned Iran neither to harm the protesters nor to restart its nuclear program. Responding to this, the Iranian official said that if America violates Iran’s sovereignty or territorial integrity, Iran will not remain silent. However, he did not clarify what form Iran’s reaction would take.

Iran’s stance under constant pressure
The Iranian official said that a country that has been facing American military pressure and threats for a long time has no option but to strengthen its defense capability. He said that whatever resources Iran has, they have been kept ready to protect the country and maintain balance.

Military presence has increased earlier also
It is noteworthy that even before this, America has been increasing its military presence in the Middle East during times of tension. Many times this was described as a defensive move, but even before the attacks on Iran’s nuclear program in June last year, America had conducted a large-scale military mobilization. In such a situation, the concern and uncertainty in the area regarding the current situation has increased further.

Iranian President Masoud Pezheshkian has given a stern warning that if any attack is made on Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it will be considered an open war against the whole of Iran. This warning has come after sharp statements with US President Donald Trump. Pezeshkian wrote on the social media platform X that an attack on our great leader would be like a total war against Iran. His statement has come at a time when tension has increased because Trump had said in an interview that now new leadership is needed in Iran.

The Iranian President wrote, ‘Any attack on our great leader would be tantamount to a total war against the Iranian nation.’ He blamed America for the country’s economic problems. He said that the people of Iran are facing huge difficulties due to the old enmity and inhumane sanctions of America and its allied countries. Earlier, Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei had called Donald Trump a criminal. He alleged that Trump was responsible for the deaths and damage caused during the recent turbulent times in Iran.

Donald Trump’s sharp attack

Donald Trump also launched a scathing attack on Iran’s leadership. He said that the leadership that has been running in Iran for decades should now end and the country should get a new leadership. According to Trump, the protests in Iran in recent weeks are the result of public anger, which is linked to political pressure, economic crisis and human rights violations.

Trump accused Iran’s leaders

Trump accused Iran’s leaders of ruling with the help of fear and violence. He also said that to remain in power the current leadership resorts to repression and has taken the country towards destruction. Relations between Tehran and Washington have remained tense since Trump’s second term. During this period, America’s policy of exerting strong pressure has continued and a war of words is often seen between the leaders of the two countries.
