Iran warns it could strike US data centres in Gulf if war resumes

Iran has warned it could target US data centres and AI facilities in the Gulf if Washington and Israel launch fresh strikes, expanding its retaliation scope. Security chief Gen. Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran has missiles and drones ready for such action. Rezaei told Drop Site News that American "valuable assets" like cables and data centres are potential targets, stating "if the conflict begins again, we will have a broader plan." The warning follows reports of US-Israeli preparations for renewed military action, with President Trump saying something could "happen fairly soon." US and Israeli militaries have stepped up exercises over Iraq for a possible short, intensive campaign, with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth meeting Israeli PM Netanyahu this week. Potential targets include Iran's energy, nuclear, and missile facilities, as officials suggest another offensive could push Tehran to concessions.
