Iran\u2019s top military command unit has warned that it will strike every remaining infrastructure in the region if its infrastructure attacked. The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Military Headquarters issued a strongly worded statement on Thursday, after US President Donald Trump threatened to expand terrorist American attacks against Iran next week to target civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges. “If the recent empty threats by the US president to have the American military target the infrastructure of the Islamic Republic are carried out, then everything that, due to Iran’s restraint, has so far remained intact\u2014that is, all infrastructure throughout the region\u2014will be smashed under the iron blows of the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic, to such an extent that no trace of it will remain, as though it had never existed,\u201d the military command\u2019s spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said. He also slammed the criminal US regime for continuing its lawless actions and efforts to destabilize West Asia. Zolfaqari further stressed that Iran will never allow the United States\u2014as a foreign, extra-regional country\u2014to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz, which is the Islamic Republic\u2019s \u201cinviolable red line.” “Let the ignorant enemy know: for us, the moment of epic action is not a moment for restraint. What is being carried out by Iran\u2019s armed forces is not an equivalent strike; it is a superior strike. The strikes will be more intense, extensive, and destructive than ever before. The fury of a nation that has never surrendered will burn the aggressor,\u201d he added. In another development on Thursday, the IRGC\u2019s Public Relations Department said that the force\u2019s Navy had conducted a \u201cdevastating strike against the US base in Sheikh Isa, Bahrain.\u201d The operation completely destroyed the air surveillance and control radar system and the fuel pumping station supplying the enemy\u2019s fighter aircraft, it noted. The attack came in response to crimes of the child-killing US military in its aerial assaults on coastal bases and several civilian locations, including a children\u2019s cancer hospital and a water production facility serving pilgrims traveling to Iraq\u2019s holy city of Karbala in the border region of Iran\u2019s Ilam Province. In the past few days, tensions have increased in the Strait of Hormuz, caused by deadly US strikes on Iran in gross violation of last month\u2019s war-ending deal between the two sides. Iran has declared the strategic waterway closed \u201cuntil further notice\u201d and at least until \u201cthe end of US interference in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
