Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in the event of a US strike on power plants.

All energy facilities in Israel and countries hosting US military bases will immediately become targets for Iran in the event of attacks on Iranian power plants. Ebrahim Zolfagari, a representative of the central headquarters of the Khatam al-Anbiya military command, warned about this on March 22.

In addition, in the event of US attacks on Iranian power plants, Tehran will completely close the Strait of Hormuz until the power facilities resume their work.

"If the US threats against Iranian power plants are implemented, Iran will immediately take the following measures. The Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed until the Iranian power plants that were hit are restored," the Tasnim news agency quoted Zolfaghari as saying.

Also, according to Zolfagari, all companies in the Middle East in which the United States has its interests will be destroyed.

On the same day, the Iran International portal reported that Iran confirmed the introduction of fees for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, while the cost of transit can reach $ 2 million per ship. The Iranian authorities have already prepared a bill providing for the official collection of fees for "safe transit."

On March 21, US President Donald Trump said that if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz, the United States will strike at power plants in 48 hours. The military will strike and destroy various power plants, starting with the largest one, he threatened.
