Amid growing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has issued a new threat against American interests in West Asia. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced plans to target regional power plants supplying electricity to US military bases.

This comes as a response to President Donald Trump's ultimatum regarding the strait's reopening, underscoring Iran's determination to retaliate against perceived threats. The statement was broadcast on Iranian state television, highlighting the potential for broader regional conflict.
