In March 2026, amid the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran, Iranian official Ali Larijani responded to US President Donald Trump's threat to target Iran's power infrastructure. Larijani warned that such an attack would plunge the entire region into darkness, creating opportunities to target US forces. He vowed to make Trump regret this "grave miscalculation." Trump had claimed the US had largely neutralized Iran's military and could dismantle its electric capacity quickly. US Central Command reported striking approximately 6,000 targets in Iran since the start of the conflict 12 days prior, damaging or destroying numerous Iranian vessels.
