Ibrahim Zulfaqari, spokesperson for the Central Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, threatened that any attack on Iran's energy infrastructure and ports would result in a "crushing and devastating response" targeting regional oil and gas infrastructure linked to the United States and its allies. Earlier, Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, warned that an attack on Iran's power facilities would plunge the entire region into darkness within half an hour.
