Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard: Will Respond in Kind if Power Plant is Attacked
Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, March 23 - According to reports from Tasnim News Agency and several other Iranian media on the 23rd, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement saying that if the United States attacks Iran's power plants, Iran will retaliate by striking the power plants of Israel and those of regional countries that supply power to U.S. military bases.
The statement said: "The United States has not truly recognized our strength; they will witness this on the battlefield."
The statement condemned U.S. President Trump for falsely claiming that the Revolutionary Guard was attempting to attack freshwater facilities in the Middle East, stating that the Revolutionary Guard has never done such a thing; rather, "they have attacked five water supply infrastructures, including a freshwater plant located on Qeshm Island."
The statement said that Trump's threat to attack Iran's power plants would lead to the paralysis of many civilian services, including hospitals, rescue stations, water supply networks, and freshwater plants, which is indeed inhumane. Iran solemnly declares that if its power plants are attacked, it will retaliate, and it will certainly follow through on its words.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it would retaliate against Israeli power stations and those supplying U.S. military bases if the U.S. attacks Iranian power stations. This declaration was made on March 23, 2023, in response to comments from U.S. President Trump regarding Iran's military capabilities. The IRGC condemned Trump's claims about their intentions and emphasized the humanitarian consequences of such attacks.
