"Zero red lines": Iran warns that if the war resumes, it will attack the economy of up to seven Gulf countries
Iran has threatened to retaliate against the economic infrastructure of several Gulf countries if attacked by the US and Israel. Mohsen Rezaei warned that potential targets include oil facilities and telecommunications cables. Tensions have escalated with military maneuvers near Iran's border and reports of possible US offensives post-midterm elections. Iranian officials view a new conflict as an existential threat and have prepared military units for potential war. Meanwhile, regional tensions persist in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran attacking commercial vessels, and Saudi Arabia facing ongoing Houthi attacks. European and regional ministers are meeting to address the escalating crises.
