Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran—threatening to strike its power plants and critical energy infrastructure if tensions continue to escalate.
Reports suggest the U.S. could target electricity grids, oil facilities, and desalination plants, raising serious concerns about civilian impact and long-term damage to Iran’s economy.
But the big question remains: Can Iran sustain such an assault?
Despite mounting pressure, Tehran has shown resilience through retaliatory strikes, regional alliances, and strategic control over key routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
