Iran has issued a stark warning that any future U.S. strike on its energy infrastructure could trigger retaliatory attacks on critical facilities across the Gulf. Iranian officials say power grids, oil installations, water desalination plants, transport networks, and other strategic infrastructure could become targets if Washington launches new military action.    The warning, first made during heightened tensions in March 2026 and reiterated in recent diplomatic messages reported by Reuters, comes as Tehran urges Gulf states to press the United States toward diplomacy instead of further escalation.    According to Reuters, Iranian officials warned Gulf governments that any new U.S. attack on Iranian territory could prompt retaliation against regional energy infrastructure. Gulf states have reportedly responded by encouraging de-escalation while emphasizing they would defend themselves if attacked.    No such attacks or regional blackout have occurred. The statements reflect Iranian warnings amid ongoing regional tensions.

00:20Iran has issued one of its strongest warnings yet to the United States and its Gulf allies,

00:26saying any future strike on Iran's power infrastructure could trigger a regional energy

00:31crisis. According to Iranian officials and state-affiliated media, Tehran has warned that

00:37if the United States attacks Iran's power plants or electricity grid, it will retaliate by targeting

00:44critical energy infrastructure across the Gulf. The warning first emerged in March 2026 during

00:51heightened tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel. At the time, U.S. President

00:57Donald Trump warned that Washington could strike Iran's power plants if Tehran failed to reopen

01:03the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with a sharp escalation in rhetoric. Iranian military spokesman

01:10Ibrahim Zulfaqari warned that any attack on Iran's energy infrastructure would be met with strikes

01:16on energy facilities, electricity grids, water desalination plants, and other critical infrastructure

01:23linked to the United States and its regional partners. Iran's parliament speaker Mohamed

01:28Bakr Khalibov also warned that attacks on Iranian power plants could lead to the irreversible

01:34destruction of critical infrastructure across the Middle East. Iranian state-linked media went

01:40even further, declaring, say goodbye to electricity, while claiming that Gulf power stations are

01:46within range of Iranian missiles, and that a strike on Iran's electricity network could

01:52plunge much of the region into darkness. The warning carried particular significance because

01:58Gulf nations depend heavily on electricity, not only for homes and industries, but also for

02:04desalination plants that supply drinking water to millions of people. Any disruption to those

02:10systems could affect electricity, water supplies, transportation networks, and oil exports across

02:16the region. Now, those warnings have resurfaced. According to Reuters, Iranian officials recently

02:23conveyed fresh messages to Gulf governments, warning that any new U.S. military strike on Iranian

02:30territory would trigger retaliation against energy facilities, oil fields, electricity grids, transport

02:37infrastructure, and water systems throughout the Gulf. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi reportedly urged

02:44regional leaders, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and others, to press Washington toward diplomacy

02:52instead of military action. Reuters reports that Gulf governments have responded by encouraging

02:58de-escalation while emphasizing they would defend themselves if attacked. Analysts say the warnings

03:04reflect Iran's strategy of raising the potential economic and strategic costs of any future military

03:11strike without necessarily seeking a full-scale regional war. At this stage, these are warnings

03:17issued by Iranian officials. No such regional blackout has occurred and there's no indication that these

03:24threats have been carried out. However, with tensions remaining high, concerns continue to grow over the

03:30vulnerability of the Gulf's energy infrastructure and the potential consequences of any further military escalation.
