Iran warns of wider strikes on US Gulf assets if attacked

Iran has warned it will target American data centers and AI facilities in the Gulf if the US and Israel launch fresh strikes, escalating threats amid preparations for a potential new operation. Iran's security chief Gen. Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran retains missile and drone capabilities against US assets, stating "we haven't used all capabilities yet" and would expand its target range if conflict reignites. The warning follows reports of US-Israeli exercises over Iraq and discussions on strikes targeting Iran's energy, nuclear, and military infrastructure. US President Donald Trump said action will "happen fairly soon," while an Iranian official claimed large-scale bombing may occur before Israeli elections on October 27. Officials suggest another offensive could push Iran's economy to the brink after nearly eight months of conflict.
