Iran has warned of much more devastating and extensive retaliation if its civilian targets are further attacked. Ali Akbar Velayati, adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, has also warned that the resistance front could target the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the flow of global energy and trade can be disrupted with a single signal. Bab el-Mandeb Strait which connects Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, is a key choke point for shipping between the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Mediterranean.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump threatened to destroy Iran’s civilian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Mr. Trump signalled potential large-scale strikes on Iranian infrastructure if Tehran does not comply with US demands. Trump warned that Iran could face widespread destruction of key assets, including power plants and bridges, if it fails to act within a set timeline.
