Ali Larijani, a senior security official in Iran, warned that Iranian forces could “hunt down” American troops if the United States targets Iran’s electricity infrastructure. His remarks came after US President Donald Trump said Washington could destroy Iran’s electric capacity within an hour if the conflict escalates. Posting on X, Larijani said any such strike would plunge the region into darkness within 30 minutes and create opportunities to attack US servicemen. He also warned that Iran could retaliate by targeting regional power grids. The exchange marks another escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran amid the ongoing war involving Iran, the US and Israel.
