Iran threatened to 'black out' Gulf if US hit power plants: Officials

Iran issued heightened threats against Gulf nations, warning it would retaliate by attacking power plants and desalination facilities if the U.S. targeted its energy infrastructure, according to two unnamed Gulf officials. The warnings came amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with former President Donald Trump initially threatening large-scale strikes against Iran but later canceling them due to diplomatic efforts by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. The officials described the latest Iranian threat as more severe than previous ones, including a detailed list of potential targets. The situation reflects broader regional instability, with sporadic attacks continuing despite earlier ceasefires and agreements.
