Iran parliament speaker: regional oil facilities will be 'irreversibly destroyed' if power plants struck
Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Ghabilaf issued an escalatory counter-threat on X: 'Immediately after the power plants and infrastructure in our country are targeted, the critical infrastructure, energy infrastructure, and oil facilities throughout the region will be considered legitimate targets and will be destroyed irreversibly.' Ghabilaf added energy prices 'will remain high for a long time.' The statement extends Iran's counter-threat beyond the Khatam al-Anbiya military warning to include explicit targeting of regional oil facilities.

Energy prices will remain high for a long time.'
No immediate US response to Ghabilaf's oil facility threat. Trump's 48-hour ultimatum framing specifically demanded Hormuz be opened 'FULLY... WITHOUT THREAT' — Iran's parliament speaker has now compounded the threat with explicit targeting of Gulf Arab oil infrastructure.
