Iran warns Gulf states of blackout if US strikes its power plants

Iran has warned Gulf states that it will retaliate against their oil, power, and water infrastructure if the United States attacks its energy network, according to officials. The threat, delivered through high-level diplomatic contacts, follows President Trump's July 28 warning to strike Iran's energy infrastructure. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi urged Gulf allies to persuade Trump to seek a diplomatic solution, emphasizing that retaliation would target U.S. assets and critical infrastructure across the region.
