Iran`s military threatened on Sunday to completely shut down the strategic Strait of Hormuz, among other measures, if US President Donald Trump acts on threats to target the country`s power plants.
"If the United States` threats regarding Iran`s power plants are carried out... the Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed, and it will not be reopened until our destroyed power plants are rebuilt," the military`s operational command Khatam Al-Anbiya said in a statement carried by state television.
Iran has already all but choked off the vital waterway, but a relatively small number of vessels have been able to transit it -- around five percent of its pre-war volume, according to analytics firm Kpler.
