Iran’s armed forces headquarters has declared it is ready to close the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely if US President Donald Trump carries out a threat to bomb Iran’s power plants.
Its statement Sunday is the latest warning from Tehran of retribution for any attacks on the country’s power industry.
Trump said Saturday he would order the bombardment of such infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz was not fully open to shipping within 48 hours.
Iran’s military responded Sunday that if the US threats regarding Iran’s power plants are carried out, the Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed and will not be reopened until destroyed power plants are rebuilt.

Cue the Black Knight…
Tripoli and Boxer disagree.
Piracy and Islam go together like like peanut butter and chocolate.
so this is the showdown.
Not our problem.
Let’s get it over with.
Keep the tonnage dropping.
No quarter.
They are our era’s Nazis. They must be defeated, civilization must prevail.
I watched “Patton” last night. Great flick. Reminds me of Trump. All the wusses he ordered around and talked down to were actors who had a dumb facial appearance to begin with. That made him look even stronger.
Yeah ok enjoy $200 oil/petrol
Find it and bomb it - and then the power plant.
This is an important aspect of this military action. The IR cannot be allowed to hold the world hostage to ensure their continued rein of terror. This should have been done decades ago.
Then why wait….you have your answer Trump.
Agreed.
Just saw the press trying to corner Bibi in the street about whether he will join Trump in striking power plants.
Bibi said Trump “knows exactly what he is doing” and whatever Israel and Trump do, they will do together. Perfect answer.
President Trump gave the leading state sponsor of terror a 48 hour warning, so if/when the lights go out in Iran, they were given a choice.
Its time to close the deal and get this done. Whatever it takes.
“Yeah ok enjoy $200 oil/petrol”
War means sacrifice, stop being a weakling.
Yes, because Kharg Island will soon be under American Management, along with Greater Tunb, and other former Iranian possessions.
Good. Let Iran close it completely. Then Iran’s favored countries (e.g., China) that they are letting through will lose their shipments and Iran will lose income.
This is what fixing a decades long problem looks like.
