In response to new threats from the United States and Israel, Iran has warned that if attacks resume, it will target oil facilities, underwater cables, data centers, and artificial intelligence facilities in seven Gulf countries. Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, announced this and emphasized that there will be no red lines.

Serious Threats from Iran

Mehdi Mohammadi, an advisor to Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, known as a hardliner negotiator with the US, stated that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have fundamentally agreed to carry out an attack, but they cannot guarantee its success. He warned that if war occurs, it will pose a serious threat to the existence of Iran, and Iran's strategy will be one of 'no red lines.'

Consequences of Possible War

Mohammadi also stated that a possible war would exceed the expectations of the enemies and its geographical and temporal dimensions would be greater than anticipated. Rezaei further clarified: 'In the event of war, cable facilities, data centers, and artificial intelligence technologies will be targeted.' He also highlighted the importance of not attacking Iran's economic lines, stating that one cannot expect that while Iran is under attack, the economic infrastructures of the enemies will remain untouched.

Foreign ministers from three European countries, along with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Egypt, are set to meet in Istanbul on Friday to determine joint policies regarding crises related to Iran, Yemen, and Palestine. There are concerns in Tehran and Washington that another war is becoming a likely reality.

The naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced on Wednesday that they simultaneously targeted four commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. These vessels appeared to be transferring oil from one ship to another. While Trump has backed away from attacking Iran seven times in the past four months, the deadlock in diplomatic negotiations has led American officials to consider a new military campaign against Iran.

Reza Naseri, an international lawyer close to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, stated: 'A third wave of war will not be limited in any way. Power networks, desalination facilities, refineries, and ports across the region will be damaged, leaving millions without water or electricity.'
