Iran's Supreme Leader Orders Military Response to Any Enemy Threat

Iran's Supreme Leader has ordered a military response to any enemy threat, according to a Telegram statement from Mojtaba Khamenei, who said Iran will determine the timing and conditions for ending any new military attacks. A senior security official in Tehran told CNN that Iran has added regional artificial intelligence infrastructure to its list of potential retaliation targets if the US or Israel launches an offensive, describing such strikes as having global impacts beyond energy crises and the Strait of Hormuz. The official warned of a long "war of surprises" avoiding predictable behavior. US military sources said forces in the Middle East are prepared to launch potentially large-scale operations against Iran within 96 hours of receiving an order from Donald Trump, with sufficient troops already deployed in the region.
