Iran’s top security official warns Trump attack on power grid could black out region

Trump said on Wednesday that the United States could dismantle Iran’s electric capacity quickly.

“We could take apart their electric capacity within one hour, and it would take them 25 years to rebuild it,” he said, adding Washington would ideally avoid such strikes.

“Well, if they do that, the whole region will go dark in less than half an hour,” Larijani wrote on X, adding that the blackout would provide “ample opportunity to hunt down US servicemen running for safety.”
