Energy, water, bonds: What are Iran's targets if Trump hits power plants?
"Trump's ultimatum stated, 'If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS... the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST.'"
"Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that the strait will not return to prewar conditions and energy markets will remain unsettled, adding that no negotiations with the US are under way."
"Iran's largest power plant, the Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant, has a capacity of about 2,900 megawatts, sufficient to meet the electricity needs of several million people."
Trump ordered a five-day pause on attacks against Iran's power infrastructure after issuing a 48-hour ultimatum for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran threatened to retaliate against Israel's power plants. Despite Trump's claims of productive talks, Iranian officials denied any negotiations. Iran's Tasnim news agency stated that the Strait will not return to prewar conditions, and energy markets will remain unstable. Trump's ultimatum included a threat to obliterate Iran's power plants if the strait was not fully opened, specifically mentioning the Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant.
