“We consider the claims of the American media about possible attacks by the US and the (Zionist) regime on Iranian infrastructure as a kind of madness,” the official told Tasnim.
“Because we have prepared a comprehensive plan to respond (to any such attack) that includes (targeting) the vital infrastructure of the Zionist regime and the US energy infrastructure in the region and we are ready for it.”
The official added that the Iranian armed forces, both during the 40-day war and then in recent weeks, have shown both the ability and the will to do so.
The remarks come following repeated threats made by US President Donald Trump to attack Iran’s infrastructure.
In recent weeks, Trump has threatened time and again and he will order new strikes on Iran’s power plants and bridges because Tehran is taking too long to make a deal.
During the 40‑day US‑Israeli war of aggression against Iran that began on February 28, Trump repeatedly threatened to bomb Iranian infrastructure unless Tehran accepted Washington’s terms.
Those threats were widely condemned as genocidal and inhumane, especially after US‑Israeli strikes killed over 160 schoolgirls in the southern city of Minab and targeted hospitals, residential areas and a synagogue in Tehran.
