Iran's leadership has ordered its military to undertake extensive preparations for a potential resumption of hostilities with Israel and the United States. Amid growing concerns over a possible new American-Israeli strike on Iran, Tehran is intensifying its readiness for a third military confrontation and revising its list of potential targets for retaliatory attacks, according to the Al-Akhbar publication. Iranian military and security structures have reportedly received directives on operational procedures in the event of an attack. These instructions include granting local units greater autonomy to maintain combat effectiveness if commanders are eliminated or communication with higher leadership is lost, ensuring the armed forces can continue striking even if command systems are disrupted. Sources indicate Tehran has updated its target list based on the principle of "security for all, or none." In response to a new attack, Iran's retaliation could extend beyond the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Potential targets now include not only oil tankers, energy infrastructure, and military bases, but also other sites without stated limitations. Iran has also reportedly added data centers used for AI operations and underwater fiber-optic communication lines in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, which support global internet functions, to its updated target list. Previously, it was reported that Washington and Jerusalem had developed a plan for a large-scale, short-term military campaign against Iran, potentially to be launched after the US midterm elections.
