The Revolutionary Guards issued another threat toward the United States amid the ultimatum President Donald Trump set for opening the Strait of Hormuz, stating in a declaration: "We are determined to respond to any threat with the same level it produces in terms of deterrence. If you (the U.S. military — Reuters) strike our electricity, we will strike electricity. In the event of an attack on energy facilities, Iran will respond against Israel's energy facilities and by striking energy facilities in the region that supply electricity to American bases."
