Iran has warned that any attack on its critical energy facilities by the United States or Israel would trigger a strong military response, as reports suggest Washington is considering new strikes targeting Iranian civilian infrastructure.
A senior Iranian military commander accused the United States of pushing the region closer to a wider conflict and urged neighboring countries to reconsider supporting US military operations. He warned that nations providing assistance or hosting American forces could also face the consequences of escalating tensions.
The warning follows reports from several US media outlets claiming that the United States and Israel are discussing possible attacks on Iranian power plants and petrochemical facilities. The reports said President Donald Trump has not yet approved the operation, which could reportedly disrupt electricity supplies and energy production across Iran.
Iranian state-linked media said the country's armed forces have prepared plans to retaliate by targeting strategic infrastructure connected to the United States and Israel if such attacks occur.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israel would like to strike Iran's energy sector but claimed the United States has so far withheld approval because of concerns that Iran could retaliate against neighboring countries and trigger a global oil crisis.
Since the conflict began in late February, the United States and Israel have carried out repeated strikes on Iranian military positions and infrastructure. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks on US and Israeli military targets, while also targeting energy-related facilities in several countries across the region.
Military activity has intensified in recent days. Kuwait reported intercepting several Iranian drones in its airspace, while maritime authorities said ships near Oman had been damaged amid continued disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran maintains strict control over traffic through the strategic waterway, allowing only vessels it authorizes.
Elsewhere, violence has continued in Iraq, Lebanon, and the Red Sea region, with attacks involving armed groups aligned with Iran and military operations by the US and its allies.
Despite the escalating conflict, Iranian officials insist the door to diplomacy remains open. Tehran says indirect messages continue to be exchanged through mediators, although it has denied requesting direct negotiations with Washington.
Iranian leaders also stressed that any future agreement must protect what they describe as the country's military and political gains while safeguarding its national interests.
