Strait of Hormuz.

Iran will completely shut the strategic Strait of Hormuz if U.S. ‌President Donald Trump executes threats to target Iranian energy facilities, the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on ⁠Sunday.

President Trump on Saturday threatened to "obliterate" Iran's power plants if Tehran did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48-hours, suggesting a significant escalation barely a day after he ‌talked ⁠about "winding down" the war, now in its fourth week.

In their Sunday statement the IRGC ⁠also said companies with U.S. shares will be 'completely destroyed', if Iranian energy ⁠facilities were targeted by Washington and energy facilities ⁠in countries that host U.S. bases will be 'lawful' targets.
