Trump retreated after Iran threat to target West Asia power plants, report says

US President Donald Trump reportedly retreated after being told Iran would target all power plants in West Asia, Iran’s Fars News Agency said on Monday, citing a source.

There were no direct communications with the United States, either directly or through intermediaries, it said.

The Tasnim news agency, citing an Iranian source, said the Strait of Hormuz would not return to pre-war conditions as long as "psychological warfare continues", and that "Iran will continue to respond and broadly defend" its territory.
