Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that any US attack on Iranian civilian infrastructure would trigger a severe response extending beyond the Middle East. The warning came through a statement published by Iranian state media, emphasizing that the IRGC would not hesitate to respond in kind if the United States targeted civilian facilities.

The statement followed remarks by US President Donald Trump, who threatened to strike Iran’s power plants and bridges within hours if Tehran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC declared that it would target US and allied infrastructure in a way that would deprive them of access to the region’s oil and gas for years. It further cautioned that if US forces crossed Iran’s defined “red line,” the response would reach beyond regional boundaries.

The exchange of threats underscores escalating tensions between the two countries, with both sides signaling readiness for broader confrontation should hostilities intensify.
