All energy facilities in region within reach of our missiles, Iraqi resistance warns US

Iraqi Islamic resistance group, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, says it will target energy infrastructure facilities across the West Asia region if the United States and Israel attack Iran’s power plants.

The group’s military deputy, Abdul-Qader al-Karbalai, said in a statement on Sunday that all regional energy facilities are now within the reach of the resistance’s missiles and drones.

Karbalai issued the warning in response to US President Donald Trump’s threat on Saturday that Iran’s power infrastructure would be bombed if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours.

The balance of power has shifted, Karbalai said, warning that any hostile action by the enemies will face a direct military response.

"The men of the resistance are people of action, not words,” he added.

Trump has been under growing pressure as Washington’s allies refuse to assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz by force. The strategic waterway is currently under the full control of the Iranian armed forces.

Since February 28, when the US and Israel launched their unprovoked aggression, Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas tankers affiliated with the aggressors and those cooperating with them.

The IRGC has warned that the scope of retaliation to any attacks on Iran’s power plants would not be limited to energy infrastructure in the region, but would also cripple the technological and water supply systems supporting the US-Israeli military presence in the region.
