Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif stated on his personal social media on the 22nd local time that Iran's defense principle is very clear: an eye for an eye.

Zarif said that any acts of aggression against Iran, including attacks on Iranian infrastructure, will provoke a strong and resolute response. Anyone providing support for such acts of aggression, regardless of the type of support, will be considered a legitimate target for retaliation.

Additionally, Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, stated that if Iran's bridges and power plants are attacked, the power supply to the allied countries of the United States will certainly be cut off.

Earlier on the 22nd, U.S. President Trump posted on social media that from now on, as long as Iran fires on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, whether using missiles, rockets, drones, or other devices or weapons, the U.S. will bomb and destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant.
