Iran vowed to carry out “much more devastating and widespread” Monday (April 6) in response to U.S. President Donald Trump‘s threat to ramp up strikes on civilian targets.
“If attacks on civilian targets are repeated, the next stages of our offensive and retaliatory operations will be much more devastating and widespread,” Iran’s central military command said in a message shared by state media on Monday.
The message was shared after Trump went on a tirade against Iran and appeared to mock the praising Allah, the Arabic term for the one, supreme, and universal God in Islam, while telling the regime to “open the f**kin” Strait of Hormuz or he’d ensure the Islamic Republic’s leaders end up in hell in a Truth Social post shared on Easter Sunday.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy b*****ds, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Trump warned that Iran had until Monday (April 6) to accept his proposed peace deal or he would consider “blowing everything up and taking over the oil” via FOX News. Iran officials previously vowed to escalate the ongoing war amid Trump’s threats.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned that the Islamic Republic would increase attacks on oil and civilian infrastructure facilities if the U.S. and Israel followed through on their own escalation plans. The public warning came after Iran had already claimed responsibility for attacks on petrochemical plants in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait, a key U.S. ally in the region, that took place over the weekend.
Kuwait suffered the heaviest damage, with two power and one water desalination plants being hit and damaged during the 24-hour attacks, according to its Electricity and Water Ministry. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also warned of potential strikes on U.S. economic interests in the Middle East if civilian attacks in Iran continued.
