Iran’s Revolutionary Guards issued a stark warning Sunday, declaring they will fully block the Strait of Hormuz if President Trump carries out his threats against Iranian energy infrastructure.
The threat comes one day after Trump warned he would “obliterate” Iran’s power plants unless Tehran completely reopens the strategic waterway within 48 hours. This represents a dramatic escalation in tensions, occurring just days after the president spoke about “winding down” the ongoing conflict, which has now entered its fourth week.
In their Sunday declaration, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards went further, stating that any companies with U.S. ownership will be “completely destroyed” should Washington attack Iranian energy sites. The Guards also warned that energy infrastructure in nations hosting American military bases would become “lawful” targets for retaliation.
The Strait of Hormuz serves as a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, making any closure a significant threat to international energy markets.
