The comments from Trump on his Truth Social media platform marked a dramatic escalation in the US president’s rhetoric about the strait, a day after he said he was thinking about “winding down” the military operation and that the responsibility for policing Hormuz would fall to the countries reliant on shipping through the corridor.

Unlike attacks on other energy assets — like the South Pars gas field — striking Iran’s power sector, on its own, wouldn’t have immediate repercussions for the world’s energy supplies. Iran has 98 operational natural gas power plants, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Among the largest are the Damavand combined cycle power plant, southeast of Tehran; the Ramin power plant north of Ahvaz; and the Kerman facility in Chatroud.

Trump’s threat to begin by striking Iran’s the largest power facilities also could be a reference to the Bushehr nuclear plant.
