Iran warned it would strike power plants across the Middle East if Donald Trump follows through on threats to bomb Iranian electrical infrastructure.

The escalation raises risks to electricity and water supplies in Gulf countries, where desalination plants depend on power stations.

Iran has already launched missiles toward Dimona, while Israel began a new wave of strikes targeting infrastructure in Tehran.

The crisis, tied partly to tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, has disrupted global energy markets and driven prices higher, the AP has reported.

Meanwhile, multiple Gulf states intercepted missiles and drones, highlighting the growing regional impact and lack of containment.
