[Iran Responds Strongly to Trump's Power Plant Threat: Diversified Grid Prevents Nationwide Blackout; Where Does Its Energy Confidence Come From?] ⑴ According to Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, an Iranian energy official stated that even if the US attacks the country's power facilities, Iran is confident in continuing to provide at least some electricity to its people. ⑵ The official added that Iran's energy sources are highly diversified, and its power grid is widely distributed and interconnected, meaning that a nationwide blackout is unlikely. ⑶ This statement directly responds to Trump's earlier threat to destroy all of Iran's power plants if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is attempting to mitigate market concerns about a complete collapse of its energy infrastructure through technical explanations. ⑷ From a grid structure perspective, Iran has continuously invested in distributed generation and regional interconnection projects in recent years to reduce the risk of systemic collapse caused by attacks on key nodes. This official's statement is intended to convey a signal of strategic resilience.
