Iranian officials struck a defiant tone Sunday, warning they could expand attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure across the Middle East if President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to intensify airstrikes and seize control of Iran’s oil resources.

In an interview with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, Trump said Tehran had until Monday morning to accept a proposed deal, or he would consider “blowing everything up and taking over the oil.”

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded with its own warning, saying the regime would escalate strikes against oil facilities and civilian infrastructure if the United States and Israel increase their military actions.

The warning followed Iran’s claim of responsibility for coordinated attacks over the weekend targeting petrochemical facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

Kuwait, a close U.S. ally, appeared to sustain the most significant damage, with its Ministry of Electricity and Water reporting that two power plants and one desalination facility were struck and damaged during a 24-hour barrage.

In addition to threatening regional infrastructure, the IRGC said it would specifically increase attacks on American economic interests if strikes against civilian sites in Iran continue.

The statement was seen as a direct response to Trump’s earlier comments on social media, in which he demanded Iran agree to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“There will be nothing like it!!! Open the …Strait, you crazy …., or you’ll be living in Hell. JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” he added in a signed post.

Iranian media outlets reacted sharply to Trump’s remarks. Mizan, a publication linked to Iran’s judiciary, criticized the president’s language and dismissed his warning.

“Iran’s steadfastness and resistance have driven Trump to the brink of madness,” the outlet wrote.

Despite the rising tensions, direct negotiations between the United States and Iran have not yet begun, as regional intermediaries continue efforts to broker talks.

Officials in Oman held discussions Sunday aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, though there has been no indication of progress toward a breakthrough agreement.
