TEHRAN — Iran warned on Thursday it would destroy regional infrastructure if the US targets Iranian infrastructure, according to the Fars News Agency.
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said: “Destroy infrastructure, we will destroy whatever infrastructure remains in the region.”
He also warned that Tehran “would under no circumstances allow the US, as a foreign and extra-regional country, to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz.”
“This is Iran’s unbreakable red line,” Zolfaghari added.

He said Iran’s response would not be an equal blow but a “superior blow,” adding that any retaliation would be “more severe, wider and more destructive than ever.”
If US President Donald Trump follows through with his threats, the Brigadier said “all the infrastructure in the region will be crushed under the steel blows of the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, so that no trace of them will remain, as if they had never existed in the first place.”
The remarks came amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides exchanging attacks despite a Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict and reaching a lasting peace agreement.
Iran’s Retaliation after US Attack on children’s cancer Hospital
Meanwhile, Iran has struck United States bases in Gulf nations, including Kuwait and Bahrain, in retaliation for the attack on a children’s cancer hospital in Khuzestan province on Thursday.
According to Iranian state media, the Shahid Baghaei Hospital was temporarily evacuated after the US reportedly targeted nearby areas. The hospital treated patients with cancer and blood diseases, particularly children.
“After the aggressive attack by the criminal America on the hospital’s surroundings, we were obliged to transfer 211 hospitalised patients,” said Majid Bouadhar, the hospital director.
Only the critically ill patients remained at the facility while other family members evacuated for their children’s safety.
