Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has identified key targets in Israel and six other regional countries for potential attacks in the event of a new war, according to the Tasnim news agency. Energy infrastructure, including power plants, is among the potential targets. The IRGC also warned it would strike U.S. military bases in the Middle East if the United States continues to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. These threats follow Iran's claims of attacking four oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and three other vessels being damaged by mines. Tehran has stated that continued escalation could endanger U.S. military facilities throughout the region, calling the incidents a "serious signal" to the U.S. The IRGC's naval forces claimed to have attacked four tankers during oil transfers, reporting fires on the damaged ships. Additionally, three other ships reportedly struck mines west of the Strait of Hormuz, catching fire and losing power. Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei stated that in a large-scale war, targets could include vital U.S. infrastructure such as undersea communication cables and data centers. He also asserted Iran's full control over the Strait of Hormuz and readiness for further conflict escalation. Iranian Army Commander Amir Hatami declared the country's armed forces are prepared for asymmetric warfare and are equipped with modern drone systems. Earlier reports indicated that Israel and the U.S. have developed a plan for a short but intense military campaign against Iran, considering it a possible scenario post-U.S. midterm elections.
